00:14:42:00	00:14:43:00	JUST THINGS THAT I'M GOING TO
00:14:43:00	00:14:45:00	BE LOOKING FOR IS AROUND SORT
00:14:45:00	00:14:46:00	OF RECOVERY SERVICES AND
00:14:46:00	00:14:47:00	PARTICULARLY UNDER THE GUISE
00:14:47:00	00:14:49:00	OF THE HARM REDUCTION JUST KNOW
00:14:49:00	00:14:50:00	HOW MUCH WE'VE BEEN SPENDING
00:14:50:00	00:14:53:00	ON, YOU KNOW, THE PASSING OF OF
00:14:53:00	00:14:54:00	NEEDLES AND PARTICULARLY THOSE
00:14:54:00	00:14:57:00	KITS AND THEN MORE IMPORTANTLY
00:14:57:00	00:15:00:00	IN THE EVENT OF AN OVERDOSE AND
00:15:00:00	00:15:01:00	UNDER THE GUISE ALSO OF HARM
00:15:01:00	00:15:02:00	REDUCTION, WHY AREN'T WE
00:15:02:00	00:15:04:00	TRANSPORTING THOSE INDIVIDUALS
00:15:04:00	00:15:07:00	TO EITHER THE EMERGENCY ROOM
00:15:07:00	00:15:08:00	AND OR TO SOMEWHERE SO THEY CAN
00:15:08:00	00:15:11:00	GET TREATMENT TO RECOVERY ?
00:15:11:00	00:15:13:00	THE SAD PART IS A LOT OF TIMES
00:15:13:00	00:15:13:00	WHEN SOMEONE OVERDOSES THEIR
00:15:13:00	00:15:16:00	FAMILY MEMBERS DON'T EVEN KNOW
00:15:16:00	00:15:16:00	BECAUSE THEY GET NARCAN.
00:15:16:00	00:15:18:00	I HAPPEN TO THINK ANY TIME WE
00:15:18:00	00:15:20:00	ADMINISTER NARCAN THAT DESERVES
00:15:20:00	00:15:21:00	A TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL.
00:15:21:00	00:15:24:00	BUT WHEN WE ADMINISTER NARCAN
00:15:24:00	00:15:25:00	THE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THE
00:15:25:00	00:15:28:00	PERSON WHO JUMPS UP AND WALKS
00:15:28:00	00:15:28:00	AWAY AND WE REALLY DON'T DO
00:15:28:00	00:15:29:00	ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
00:15:29:00	00:15:31:00	WE CAN'T ASK THEM TO OH WE
00:15:31:00	00:15:32:00	CAN'T TAKE THEM I GUESS TO THE
00:15:32:00	00:15:32:00	TO THE HOSPITAL.
00:15:32:00	00:15:35:00	SO I'D LIKE SOME ANSWERS AROUND
00:15:35:00	00:15:36:00	AGAIN, UNDER THE GUISE OF HARM
00:15:36:00	00:15:36:00	REDUCTION WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:15:36:00	00:15:39:00	PASSING OUT NEEDLES.
00:15:39:00	00:15:40:00	WE SHOULD BE TRANSPORTING FOLKS
00:15:40:00	00:15:40:00	TO THE HOSPITAL WHEN THEY

00:25:21:00	00:25:25:00	THIRDLY, I WANT TO MENTION THAT
00:25:25:00	00:25:25:00	RECENT EVENTS THAT HAVE BEEN
00:25:25:00	00:25:29:00	HIGHLIGHTED IN THE MEDIA HAVE
00:25:29:00	00:25:29:00	NOTED THE IMPORTANCE
00:25:29:00	00:25:32:00	OF PROVIDING MENTAL SUPPORTS TO

00:25:44:00	00:25:45:00	THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IS
00:25:45:00	00:25:48:00	THAT THERE'S BEEN LITTLE
00:25:48:00	00:25:49:00	ATTENTION FOCUSED ON POSTPARTUM
00:25:49:00	00:25:51:00	MENTAL HEALTH AMONG WOMEN

00:27:09:00	00:27:09:00	OF THESE PROGRAMS THIS MORNING
00:27:09:00	00:27:10:00	SO I DIDN'T WANT TO BE
00:27:10:00	00:27:11:00	DUPLICATIVE AND I JUST WANTED
00:27:11:00	00:27:13:00	TO POINT OUT SOME OF THE THINGS
00:27:13:00	00:27:15:00	THAT WE WE HAD NOT TALKED ABOUT

00:28:06:00	00:28:07:00	SO THE CENTER IS MOVING FORWARD
00:28:07:00	00:28:10:00	A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES THAT WE
00:28:10:00	00:28:11:00	THINK ARE QUITE IMPORTANT AND
00:28:11:00	00:28:14:00	HAVE SIGNIFICANCE I THINK AND
00:28:14:00	00:28:17:00	WILL BE IMPORTANT IN TERMS

00:28:21:00	00:28:21:00	OF BOSTON'S RESIDENTS.
00:28:21:00	00:28:23:00	FIRST THE CENTER IS WORKING TO
00:28:23:00	00:28:25:00	WIDEN PUBLIC AWARENESS OF YOUTH

00:28:29:00	00:28:29:00	PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN.
00:28:29:00	00:28:33:00	WE RECENTLY RELEASED AN RFP FOR

00:28:41:00	00:28:42:00	METHODS TO ENGAGE BOSTON'S
00:28:42:00	00:28:44:00	YOUTH CENTER ALSO AIMS TO
00:28:44:00	00:28:48:00	INCREASE THE NUMBER OF DIVERSE
00:28:48:00	00:28:48:00	, INACCESSIBLE BEHAVIORAL
00:28:48:00	00:28:52:00	HEALTH CLINICIANS TO THIS END
00:28:52:00	00:28:53:00	WE ALSO RELEASED AN RFP FOR
00:28:53:00	00:28:53:00	BEHAVIORAL HEALTH WORKFORCE
00:28:53:00	00:28:56:00	PIPELINE PROGRAMS.
00:28:56:00	00:28:57:00	THE CENTER ALSO HELPED TO GUIDE
00:28:57:00	00:29:00:00	COORDINATE OTHER BEHAVIORAL
00:29:00:00	00:29:01:00	HEALTH SERVICE EXPANSIONS OVER
00:29:01:00	00:29:01:00	THE COURSE OF NY TWENTY THREE
00:29:01:00	00:29:04:00	INCLUDING THE EXPANSION OF OUR
00:29:04:00	00:29:05:00	CAPACITY BUILDING TRAINING
00:29:05:00	00:29:08:00	INITIATIVE WHICH I SPOKE TO.
00:29:08:00	00:29:11:00	I'LL JUST COMMENT HERE THAT
00:29:11:00	00:29:12:00	PART OF THE WORK HERE IS GOING
00:29:12:00	00:29:13:00	TO EXPAND THE TRAININGS THAT WE
00:29:13:00	00:29:15:00	ACTUALLY OFFER AND WORK TO

00:29:23:00	00:29:25:00	WE WILL ALSO BE LOOKING TO
00:29:25:00	00:29:27:00	EXPAND OUR BOSTON AREA HEALTH
00:29:27:00	00:29:28:00	EDUCATION CENTER WHICH WILL
00:29:28:00	00:29:31:00	ALLOW US TO INCREASE THE NUMBER
00:29:31:00	00:29:32:00	OF BOSTON MIDDLE AND HIGH
00:29:32:00	00:29:33:00	SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO LEARN AND
00:29:33:00	00:29:35:00	GAIN EXPOSURE TO BEHAVIORAL
00:29:35:00	00:29:36:00	HEALTH CAREERS.
00:29:36:00	00:29:37:00	THE IDEA OF COURSE IS TO
00:29:37:00	00:29:38:00	INCREASE A WORKFORCE PIPELINE
00:29:38:00	00:29:39:00	AND TO MAKE THESE CAREERS.
00:29:39:00	00:29:42:00	YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING
00:29:42:00	00:29:43:00	THAT IS AN OPTION FOR STUDENTS
00:29:43:00	00:29:47:00	WHO WHO MAY BE INTERESTED.
00:29:47:00	00:29:48:00	WE WILL ALSO BE PRODUCING
00:29:48:00	00:29:50:00	ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO EXPAND
00:29:50:00	00:29:51:00	THE REACH OF A COCOA CLUB WHICH
00:29:51:00	00:29:54:00	WE DISCUSSED THIS MORNING.
00:29:54:00	00:29:55:00	AND IN ADDITION TO THESE
00:29:55:00	00:29:58:00	COMMUNICATIONS CAMPAIGN WILL
00:29:58:00	00:29:59:00	REALLY BE EXPANDING A LOT
00:29:59:00	00:30:02:00	OF THEIR WORK WITH YOUTH,
00:30:02:00	00:30:03:00	PARTICULARLY LOOKING AT
00:30:03:00	00:30:06:00	PREVENTING SUBSTANCE USE AMONG
00:30:06:00	00:30:17:00	YOUTH INVOLVED IN BOSTON AND IN
00:30:17:00	00:30:18:00	ADDITION, WE HAVE BEEN SPEAKING
00:30:18:00	00:30:19:00	IN IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH BOSTON
00:30:19:00	00:30:19:00	PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
00:30:19:00	00:30:20:00	WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS EARLIER
00:30:20:00	00:30:21:00	TODAY AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
00:30:21:00	00:30:22:00	WE CAN TALK MORE ABOUT IT.
00:30:22:00	00:30:22:00	BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOCUSING
00:30:22:00	00:30:23:00	OUR EFFORTS ON MENTAL HEALTH
00:30:23:00	00:30:25:00	AND A CERTAIN NUMBER OF SCHOOLS
00:30:25:00	00:30:26:00	AND ON LOOKING AT THE
00:30:26:00	00:30:29:00	POSSIBILITY OF CREATING SORT
00:30:29:00	00:30:30:00	OF A TRAUMA INFORM SCHOOL
00:30:30:00	00:30:32:00	NETWORK THROUGHOUT BAPS WHICH
00:30:32:00	00:30:33:00	WILL BE SOMETHING THAT'LL SORT
00:30:33:00	00:30:36:00	OF BE A LONGER TERM INITIATIVE
00:30:36:00	00:30:37:00	BUT CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT WE
00:30:37:00	00:30:38:00	WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TOWARDS AND
00:30:38:00	00:30:42:00	THEN FINALLY ON THIS PARTICULAR
00:30:42:00	00:30:43:00	TOPIC, I WANTED TO NOTE THAT
00:30:43:00	00:30:45:00	BOSTON EMS HAS MADE IMPRESSIVE
00:30:45:00	00:30:48:00	ADVANCEMENTS IN THE PROVISION
00:30:48:00	00:30:49:00	OF PATIENT CARE IN THE SETTING
00:30:49:00	00:30:50:00	OF MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS
00:30:50:00	00:30:53:00	IMPLEMENTING IMPLEMENTING A NEW
00:30:53:00	00:30:53:00	MOBILE INTEGRATED HEALTH CARE
00:30:53:00	00:30:56:00	PROGRAM TO ADDRESS BEHAVIORAL
00:30:56:00	00:30:57:00	HEALTH NEEDS WHICH YOU WILL
00:30:57:00	00:31:00:00	HEAR MORE ABOUT WHEN MS
00:31:00:00	00:31:01:00	PROVIDES TESTIMONY AT THEIR
00:31:01:00	00:31:04:00	HEARING ON MAY 16.
00:31:04:00	00:31:08:00	NEXT SLIDE SO TURNING TO
00:31:08:00	00:31:09:00	SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER AND
00:31:09:00	00:31:13:00	HOMELESSNESS, CERTAINLY WE TALK
00:31:13:00	00:31:14:00	A LOT ABOUT THE WORK IN THE
00:31:14:00	00:31:16:00	MARCINKUS AREA BUT THIS IS A
00:31:16:00	00:31:19:00	CITYWIDE ISSUE IN NY 23 WE
00:31:19:00	00:31:20:00	ADAPTED AND IMPROVED AND
00:31:20:00	00:31:24:00	EXPANDED OUR SERVICES AND ARE
00:31:24:00	00:31:25:00	CERTAINLY CONTINUING TO WORK
00:31:25:00	00:31:28:00	TOWARDS MAINTAINING AN EQUITY
00:31:28:00	00:31:29:00	CENTERED APPROACH A MAJOR STEP
00:31:29:00	00:31:32:00	FORWARD IN THIS WORK HAS BEEN
00:31:32:00	00:31:33:00	THE OPENING OF SIX LITTLE
00:31:33:00	00:31:36:00	THRESHOLD SITES THAT MANY
00:31:36:00	00:31:37:00	OF YOU ALL ARE AWARE OF THESE
00:31:37:00	00:31:40:00	SITES OR PLACES WHERE
00:31:40:00	00:31:40:00	INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNSHELTERED
00:31:40:00	00:31:43:00	WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER AND
00:31:43:00	00:31:44:00	IN MANY CASES OCCURRING MENTAL
00:31:44:00	00:31:48:00	ILLNESS INDIVIDUALS CAN ENTER
00:31:48:00	00:31:49:00	THE SIZE OF A BARRIER YOU DON'T
00:31:49:00	00:31:52:00	NECESSARILY HAVE RECOVERY AND
00:31:52:00	00:31:55:00	THROUGH THIS WORK WE HAVE
00:31:55:00	00:31:59:00	HOUSED OR SHELTERED FIVE
00:31:59:00	00:32:00:00	HUNDRED FORTY FIVE INDIVIDUALS
00:32:00:00	00:32:03:00	AND 110 INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN
00:32:03:00	00:32:07:00	PLACED INTO PERMANENT HOUSING.
00:32:07:00	00:32:08:00	I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
00:32:08:00	00:32:08:00	TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S ACTUALLY
00:32:08:00	00:32:11:00	HAPPENING AT THESE SITES.
00:32:11:00	00:32:15:00	WE BASICALLY HAVE DEVELOPED A
00:32:15:00	00:32:16:00	SORT OF A NETWORK OF PROVIDERS
00:32:16:00	00:32:19:00	WHO ARE OFFERING SERVICES AT
00:32:19:00	00:32:20:00	THESE TYPES OF LOW BARRIER
00:32:20:00	00:32:23:00	SITES AND WE HAVE A LEARNING
00:32:23:00	00:32:24:00	COLLABORATIVE AMONG THEM TO
00:32:24:00	00:32:27:00	SHARE BEST PRACTICES AND TO
00:32:27:00	00:32:31:00	ENCOURAGE BETTER SYSTEMS CARE
00:32:31:00	00:32:32:00	FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING WITH
00:32:32:00	00:32:32:00	SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER.
00:32:32:00	00:32:35:00	WE HAVE NOVEL TRACKING AN
00:32:35:00	00:32:36:00	EVALUATION SYSTEM THAT MEASURES
00:32:36:00	00:32:39:00	KEY OUTCOMES AND OPERATIONAL
00:32:39:00	00:32:40:00	INDICATORS ACROSS THE SIX SITES
00:32:40:00	00:32:41:00	AND MULTIPLE PROVIDERS OF THOSE
00:32:41:00	00:32:42:00	SIX SITES.
00:32:42:00	00:32:43:00	I THINK THAT THIS IS A GREAT
00:32:43:00	00:32:47:00	EXAMPLE OF COLLABORATION ACROSS
00:32:47:00	00:32:50:00	CITY DEPARTMENTS WE ARE WORKING

00:39:41:00	00:39:43:00	RELEVANCE WHICH PRESENTS IT
00:39:43:00	00:39:44:00	FIRST AND FOREMOST I AM A
00:39:44:00	00:39:48:00	LAWYER TO ADVOCATE FOR DOING
00:39:48:00	00:39:52:00	WORK THAT IS CLIENT CENTERED
00:39:52:00	00:39:52:00	AND WHEN I WAS A PUBLIC
00:39:52:00	00:39:53:00	DEFENDER THAT WAS A MAJOR THING
00:39:53:00	00:39:55:00	THAT WE FOCUSED ON WHICH WAS
00:39:55:00	00:39:56:00	UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL OF THESE
00:39:56:00	00:39:59:00	INDIVIDUALS, NO MATTER WHAT
00:39:59:00	00:39:59:00	DEPTH THEIR ADDICTION IS THAT
00:39:59:00	00:40:02:00	AT THAT MOMENT ARE INDIVIDUALS
00:40:02:00	00:40:03:00	AND THAT THEY HAVE THE FREEDOM
00:40:03:00	00:40:07:00	OF CHOICE AND THEY MAY BE
00:40:07:00	00:40:07:00	MAKING BAD DECISIONS BUT
00:40:07:00	00:40:08:00	THEY'RE HUMAN BEINGS AND THEY
00:40:08:00	00:40:09:00	STATE THEY ARE IN CHARGE
00:40:09:00	00:40:10:00	OF THAT CAPACITY TO MAKE THOSE
00:40:10:00	00:40:11:00	DECISIONS.
00:40:11:00	00:40:14:00	AND SO I'VE WE'VE SEEN THIS
00:40:14:00	00:40:18:00	KIND OF WORK AS WORK TO TO TRY
00:40:18:00	00:40:18:00	AND BE RESTORATIVE IN AS MANY
00:40:18:00	00:40:21:00	WAYS AS WE CAN AND SO MY TWO
00:40:21:00	00:40:22:00	SORT OF TWO QUESTIONS THAT ARE
00:40:22:00	00:40:25:00	VERY OPEN ENDED AND YOU'RE

00:40:29:00	00:40:30:00	WANT TO ANSWER IT HOWEVER YOU
00:40:30:00	00:40:31:00	WANT TO ANSWER IT.
00:40:31:00	00:40:32:00	ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I FIND
00:40:32:00	00:40:33:00	IS OFTEN LEVIED AGAINST
00:40:33:00	00:40:34:00	PROGRAMING LIKE WHAT WE ARE
00:40:34:00	00:40:37:00	TRYING TO DO IS THE IDEA THAT
00:40:37:00	00:40:38:00	IT'S IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY OR
00:40:38:00	00:40:40:00	THAT WE ARE SORT OF THAT IT'S
00:40:40:00	00:40:41:00	MONEY THAT CAN BE USED IN OTHER
00:40:41:00	00:40:42:00	WAYS.
00:40:42:00	00:40:43:00	ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOW
00:40:43:00	00:40:45:00	KPCB WHICH IS STUDIED WAS HOW
00:40:45:00	00:40:49:00	MUCH MONEY WE SPEND BY NOT
00:40:49:00	00:40:50:00	DOING THESE THINGS THAT OFTEN
00:40:50:00	00:40:52:00	THERE IS A COST TO OUR
00:40:52:00	00:40:53:00	EMERGENCY ROOMS, TO OUR
00:40:53:00	00:40:56:00	HOSPITALS, TO OUR JUDICIAL
00:40:56:00	00:40:57:00	SYSTEMS THAT IT'S ACTUALLY MORE
00:40:57:00	00:40:58:00	EXPENSIVE TO NOT TRY TO TREAT
00:40:58:00	00:41:00:00	THIS THROUGH TRANSITIONAL
00:41:00:00	00:41:01:00	HOUSING OR THROUGH THESE
00:41:01:00	00:41:02:00	DIFFERENT METHODS THAN IT IS TO
00:41:02:00	00:41:04:00	TRY TO TREAT IT THROUGH THOSE.
00:41:04:00	00:41:05:00	AND SO WHATEVER DATA OR STUDIES
00:41:05:00	00:41:06:00	THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF TO THAT
00:41:06:00	00:41:08:00	EFFECT I WOULD BE VERY
00:41:08:00	00:41:11:00	INTERESTED IN THE SECOND ONE IS
00:41:11:00	00:41:12:00	I THINK THERE'S THIS IDEA THAT
00:41:12:00	00:41:16:00	BECAUSE WE PROVIDE RESOURCES
00:41:16:00	00:41:16:00	THAT THAT MEANS MORE PEOPLE
00:41:16:00	00:41:17:00	COME TO RECEIVE THOSE RESOURCES
00:41:17:00	00:41:20:00	AND SO THAT'S SORT OF A NEVER
00:41:20:00	00:41:21:00	ENDING LINE SO THAT IF WE
00:41:21:00	00:41:24:00	PROVIDE THESE RESOURCES TO
00:41:24:00	00:41:24:00	FOLKS LIKE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
00:41:24:00	00:41:25:00	OR THINGS OF THESE AND THINGS
00:41:25:00	00:41:28:00	OF THAT NATURE THAT PEOPLE JUST
00:41:28:00	00:41:29:00	KEEP SHOWING UP BECAUSE WE ARE
00:41:29:00	00:41:29:00	PROVIDING SERVICES FOR
00:41:29:00	00:41:31:00	TREATMENT.
00:41:31:00	00:41:32:00	MY RESPONSE TO THAT IS SORT
00:41:32:00	00:41:35:00	OF OK SO I WOULD BE IN NEED AND
00:41:35:00	00:41:36:00	I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE
00:41:36:00	00:41:37:00	ARE PROVIDING RESOURCES TO
00:41:37:00	00:41:37:00	THEM.
00:41:37:00	00:41:39:00	I UNDERSTAND THAT WE DON'T HAVE
00:41:39:00	00:41:40:00	ENDLESS LIMITLESS FUNDS BUT
00:41:40:00	00:41:41:00	WHEN A HUMAN BEING NEEDS
00:41:41:00	00:41:43:00	HOUSING, A HUMAN BEING MEANS
00:41:43:00	00:41:44:00	HEALTH CARE AND THEY ARE HERE
00:41:44:00	00:41:45:00	IN THE CITY OF BOSTON.
00:41:45:00	00:41:46:00	WE SHOULD BE TRYING TO FIGURE
00:41:46:00	00:41:47:00	OUT WAYS TO PROVIDE.
00:41:47:00	00:41:48:00	SO I'M LESS CONCERNED WITH
00:41:48:00	00:41:48:00	THAT.
00:41:48:00	00:41:50:00	BUT I THINK ONE OF THE
00:41:50:00	00:41:51:00	QUESTIONS I WOULD HAVE FOR YOU
00:41:51:00	00:41:55:00	IS WHAT ARE WAYS IN WHICH WE
00:41:55:00	00:41:58:00	COULD PUSH EITHER ON A BUDGET
00:41:58:00	00:41:59:00	OR A CAPACITY ISSUE TO FURTHER
00:41:59:00	00:42:02:00	ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN A FASTER
00:42:02:00	00:42:03:00	TIMELINE.
00:42:03:00	00:42:06:00	IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE IT SO
00:42:06:00	00:42:07:00	THAT FOLKS WHO ARE ENTERING
00:42:07:00	00:42:08:00	INTO THIS PERMANENT HOUSING I
00:42:08:00	00:42:10:00	THINK I ON THE SIDE OF ABOUT
00:42:10:00	00:42:10:00	ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE GOT PLACED
00:42:10:00	00:42:11:00	INTO PERMANENT HOUSING AND I'M
00:42:11:00	00:42:13:00	SURE THERE'S A NUMBER
00:42:13:00	00:42:14:00	OF FACTORS THAT GO INTO THAT IN
00:42:14:00	00:42:17:00	WHAT WAYS DOES BUDGET AND
00:42:17:00	00:42:21:00	BUDGET CAPACITY ADD TO THAT AND
00:42:21:00	00:42:24:00	HOW WOULD WE HAVE MORE FOLKS
00:42:24:00	00:42:25:00	WHO ARE FINDING SORT OF I
00:42:25:00	00:42:28:00	CONSIDER FINDING HOUSING
00:42:28:00	00:42:29:00	PERMANENT HOUSING A JOB WELL
00:42:29:00	00:42:32:00	DONE AND A STEP TOWARDS SORT
00:42:32:00	00:42:33:00	OF RECEIVING THE TREATMENT THAT
00:42:33:00	00:42:33:00	THEY NEED?
00:42:33:00	00:42:36:00	HOW HOW MUCH MORE CAPACITY DO
00:42:36:00	00:42:37:00	WE HAVE TO HAVE THOSE KINDS
00:42:37:00	00:42:38:00	OF SUCCESS STORIES WITH A
00:42:38:00	00:42:38:00	LARGER BUDGET?
00:42:38:00	00:42:41:00	IS THERE A PLACE WHERE THAT'S
00:42:41:00	00:42:41:00	RELATED AND THERE'S OR IS THERE
00:42:41:00	00:42:43:00	A PLACE WHERE IT'S PLATEAU'S
00:42:43:00	00:42:44:00	WHERE THE LARGER BUDGET DOESN'T
00:42:44:00	00:42:47:00	REALLY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE
00:42:47:00	00:42:47:00	OUTCOMES?
00:42:47:00	00:42:51:00	AND SO JUST THOSE TWO THINGS.
00:42:51:00	00:42:52:00	OK, SO THANK YOU.
00:42:52:00	00:42:55:00	SO I'LL START WITH THE ISSUE
00:42:55:00	00:42:56:00	OF THE COST EFFECTIVENESS
00:42:56:00	00:42:59:00	OF HARM REDUCTION.
00:42:59:00	00:43:00:00	IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
00:43:00:00	00:43:01:00	I'VE READ THE STUDIES.
00:43:01:00	00:43:03:00	I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS RIGHT
00:43:03:00	00:43:04:00	OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
00:43:04:00	00:43:05:00	BUT WHAT I WILL SAY IS THIS
00:43:05:00	00:43:07:00	THAT YEARS OF EVIDENCE AND
00:43:07:00	00:43:08:00	RESEARCH HAVE PROVEN THAT HARM
00:43:08:00	00:43:11:00	REDUCTION SAVES LIVES AND
00:43:11:00	00:43:11:00	SPECIFICALLY IN RELATIONSHIP TO
00:43:11:00	00:43:15:00	COST IT REDUCES THE SPREAD
00:43:15:00	00:43:15:00	OF TRANSMISSIBLE DISEASES
00:43:15:00	00:43:18:00	PARTICULARLY HIV AND HEPATITIS
00:43:18:00	00:43:18:00	.
00:43:18:00	00:43:19:00	SO I'M AN HIV DOCTOR.
00:43:19:00	00:43:23:00	I TREAT PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV
00:43:23:00	00:43:23:00	WITH ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY
00:43:23:00	00:43:26:00	THERE ON THAT FOR LIFE.
00:43:26:00	00:43:27:00	AND IF YOU CAN IMAGINE LIFELONG
00:43:27:00	00:43:29:00	TREATMENT WITH VERY EXPENSIVE
00:43:29:00	00:43:30:00	MEDICATIONS, CONTINUAL
00:43:30:00	00:43:35:00	MONITORING AND INCREASED RISK
00:43:35:00	00:43:39:00	FOR MORBIDITY, LEADING OTHER
00:43:39:00	00:43:42:00	ASSOCIATED ILLNESSES TO GO
00:43:42:00	00:43:45:00	ALONG WITH HIV OBVIOUSLY SAVING
00:43:45:00	00:43:46:00	THAT MONEY AND REDUCING THAT
00:43:46:00	00:43:51:00	COST IS IMPORTANT AND AS IT HAS
00:43:51:00	00:43:54:00	BEEN ENORMOUSLY HELPFUL FOR OUR
00:43:54:00	00:43:55:00	HEALTH CARE SYSTEM HEPATITIS C
00:43:55:00	00:43:58:00	YOU KNOW IN MOST CASES IS
00:43:58:00	00:44:01:00	TREATABLE BUT IT IS ALSO AN
00:44:01:00	00:44:02:00	EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
00:44:02:00	00:44:03:00	OF EXPENSIVE MEDICATION.
00:44:03:00	00:44:06:00	SO WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO AVOID
00:44:06:00	00:44:09:00	HIV AND HEPATITIS C WE SHOULD
00:44:09:00	00:44:09:00	BE DOING.
00:44:09:00	00:44:10:00	I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT, YOU
00:44:10:00	00:44:13:00	KNOW, SOMETIMES PEOPLE SORT
00:44:13:00	00:44:14:00	OF THINK ABOUT THESE INFECTIONS
00:44:14:00	00:44:17:00	AS BEING A THING OF THE PAST.
00:44:17:00	00:44:18:00	THAT'S NOT THE CASE AT ALL.
00:44:18:00	00:44:19:00	WE TALK THIS MORNING ABOUT THE
00:44:19:00	00:44:21:00	HIV EPIDEMIC UPTICK IN CASES
00:44:21:00	00:44:25:00	THAT'S HAPPENED IN RECENT YEARS
00:44:25:00	00:44:26:00	RIGHT HERE IN BOSTON AND
00:44:26:00	00:44:29:00	CERTAINLY IN OTHER AREAS.
00:44:29:00	00:44:30:00	OUTBREAKS THAT HAVE BEEN
00:44:30:00	00:44:32:00	DISCUSSED AND WRITTEN HAVE BEEN
00:44:32:00	00:44:33:00	PUBLISHED IN OTHER AREAS AROUND
00:44:33:00	00:44:37:00	AROUND BOSTON OR EXCUSE ME
00:44:37:00	00:44:38:00	AROUND THE STATE
00:44:38:00	00:44:38:00	OF MASSACHUSETTS.
00:44:38:00	00:44:40:00	SO THESE ARE IMPORTANT PIECES
00:44:40:00	00:44:41:00	AND IF THAT'S HOW WE, YOU KNOW,
00:44:41:00	00:44:42:00	SORT OF JUSTIFY WHY WE DO IT, I
00:44:42:00	00:44:44:00	THINK IT'S JUST IMPORTANT THAT
00:44:44:00	00:44:45:00	WE'RE JUST REDUCING SUFFERING.
00:44:45:00	00:44:48:00	WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS KEEP
00:44:48:00	00:44:52:00	PEOPLE ALIVE AND KEEP PEOPLE
00:44:52:00	00:45:00:00	FREE OF LONG TERM OR SERIOUS
00:45:00:00	00:45:00:00	INFECTION SO THAT WE CAN
00:45:00:00	00:45:01:00	INTERVENE AND DO THINGS WITH
00:45:01:00	00:45:04:00	THEM THAT MAY MOVE THEM CLOSER
00:45:04:00	00:45:04:00	TOWARDS RECOVERY IF THAT'S IF
00:45:04:00	00:45:07:00	THAT'S WHERE THEY WANT TO GO
00:45:07:00	00:45:08:00	AND IF THAT'S THAT'S WHERE THEY
00:45:08:00	00:45:09:00	END UP.
00:45:09:00	00:45:11:00	SO THAT'S WHY WE DO HARM
00:45:11:00	00:45:12:00	REDUCTION OR A MAJOR REASON WHY
00:45:12:00	00:45:15:00	WE DO HARM REDUCTION.
00:45:15:00	00:45:16:00	AND I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT JUST
00:45:16:00	00:45:17:00	THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE'RE
00:45:17:00	00:45:19:00	SPENDING ON HARM REDUCTION,
00:45:19:00	00:45:23:00	IT'S IT'S NOT THAT SIGNIFICANT
00:45:23:00	00:45:23:00	.
00:45:23:00	00:45:24:00	MOST OF OUR HARM REDUCTION
00:45:24:00	00:45:26:00	EFFORTS ARE FUNDED BY STATE
00:45:26:00	00:45:27:00	STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
00:45:27:00	00:45:30:00	HEALTH, THE OFFICE OF HIV AIDS
00:45:30:00	00:45:31:00	OR THE OFFICE OF HIV AIDS AS
00:45:31:00	00:45:34:00	THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
00:45:34:00	00:45:35:00	PAYS FOR MOST OF OUR SYRINGE
00:45:35:00	00:45:38:00	SERVICES IT'S ONE POINT FOUR
00:45:38:00	00:45:38:00	DOLLARS MILLION.
00:45:38:00	00:45:42:00	WE ALSO GET MONEY FOR NARCAN TO
00:45:42:00	00:45:43:00	REVERSE OVERDOSES AND OTHER
00:45:43:00	00:45:43:00	SERVICES.
00:45:43:00	00:45:47:00	SO I DO THINK THAT IT'S IT'S
00:45:47:00	00:45:47:00	WELL WORTH IT.
00:45:47:00	00:45:49:00	THE SECOND QUESTION IS WHAT CAN
00:45:49:00	00:45:50:00	WE DO IN THE SHORTER TERM OR
00:45:50:00	00:45:53:00	EVEN THE MEDIA THE MEDIUM TERM
00:45:53:00	00:45:54:00	TO GET PEOPLE FURTHER ALONG THE
00:45:54:00	00:45:57:00	LINE TO MOVE INTO THIS
00:45:57:00	00:45:58:00	TRANSITIONAL HOUSING?
00:45:58:00	00:46:00:00	I THINK THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION
00:46:00:00	00:46:01:00	.
00:46:01:00	00:46:02:00	IT'S ONE THAT WE'RE WORKING ON
00:46:02:00	00:46:02:00	BECAUSE WE WANT TO ACTUALLY
00:46:02:00	00:46:05:00	ANALYZE THE DATA TO FIGURE OUT
00:46:05:00	00:46:05:00	WHY IT IS THAT MORE PEOPLE
00:46:05:00	00:46:06:00	HAVEN'T GONE ON TO PERMANENT
00:46:06:00	00:46:08:00	HOUSING.
00:46:08:00	00:46:09:00	I THINK THE EASIEST ANSWER IS
00:46:09:00	00:46:10:00	THAT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
00:46:10:00	00:46:13:00	PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING IS
00:46:13:00	00:46:13:00	NOT THAT PART OF IT THAT YOU
00:46:13:00	00:46:14:00	KNOW, THERE'S EVEN IF THERE'S
00:46:14:00	00:46:17:00	PERMANENT HOUSING, IT'S NOT
00:46:17:00	00:46:17:00	NECESSARILY SUPPORTIVE HOUSING.
00:46:17:00	00:46:18:00	YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER THE FACT
00:46:18:00	00:46:21:00	THAT A LOT OF THE FOLKS WHO ARE
00:46:21:00	00:46:21:00	ENTERING INTO THESE SPACES
00:46:21:00	00:46:24:00	AREN'T NECESSARILY READY OR
00:46:24:00	00:46:28:00	EITHER PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY,
00:46:28:00	00:46:29:00	PSYCHOLOGICALLY READY TO LIVE
00:46:29:00	00:46:32:00	COMPLETELY ON THEIR OWN.
00:46:32:00	00:46:33:00	THEY ACTUALLY NEED SUPPORTIVE
00:46:33:00	00:46:34:00	SERVICES WHEN THEY GO INTO MORE
00:46:34:00	00:46:36:00	PERMANENT HOUSING SETTINGS AND
00:46:36:00	00:46:37:00	THIS HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE.
00:46:37:00	00:46:40:00	I MEAN OUR SYSTEM DOESN'T ALLOW
00:46:40:00	00:46:44:00	FOR THE FACT THAT RECOVERY IS A
00:46:44:00	00:46:45:00	LONG TERM JOURNEY AND A LOT
00:46:45:00	00:46:48:00	OF PEOPLE ARE STILL USING OR
00:46:48:00	00:46:48:00	STRUGGLING OR GOING BETWEEN
00:46:48:00	00:46:49:00	MEDICATION FOR OPIATE USE
00:46:49:00	00:46:52:00	DISORDER TO USING JUST IT'S
00:46:52:00	00:46:52:00	COMPLICATED.
00:46:52:00	00:46:56:00	IT'S VERY COMPLICATED AND AH
00:46:56:00	00:46:57:00	OUR SYSTEM JUST HASN'T REACHED
00:46:57:00	00:47:00:00	THE CAPACITY IT NEEDS TO BE YET
00:47:00:00	00:47:03:00	TO MANAGE COMPLEX INDIVIDUALS
00:47:03:00	00:47:04:00	LIKE THE ONES THAT WE ARE
00:47:04:00	00:47:08:00	TRYING TO ASSIST ON THE STREET.
00:47:08:00	00:47:09:00	SO JUST NOT HAVING ENOUGH
00:47:09:00	00:47:12:00	OF THAT RESOURCE AND HAVING A
00:47:12:00	00:47:12:00	SYSTEM THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE
00:47:12:00	00:47:16:00	CAPACITY TO HELP HAS SLOWED
00:47:16:00	00:47:16:00	THINGS DOWN.
00:47:16:00	00:47:17:00	SO IF THERE'S MONEY YOU KNOW
00:47:17:00	00:47:18:00	BUT THERE'S ALSO THERE ALSO
00:47:18:00	00:47:20:00	NEEDS TO BE THE WILL TO CHANGE
00:47:20:00	00:47:23:00	OUR SYSTEM TO MEET THE NEEDS
00:47:23:00	00:47:23:00	OF VERY COMPLEX PATIENTS.
00:47:23:00	00:47:24:00	SO I HOPE THAT'S SOMEWHAT
00:47:24:00	00:47:27:00	HELPFUL TO US.
00:47:27:00	00:47:27:00	ONE CLARIFICATION QUESTION WHEN
00:47:27:00	00:47:28:00	WE TALK ABOUT THE COMPLEXITY
00:47:28:00	00:47:31:00	OF FOLKS IN MY EXPERIENCE WHAT
00:47:31:00	00:47:32:00	WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS IS FOLKS
00:47:32:00	00:47:35:00	WHO ARE DEALING WITH BOTH
00:47:35:00	00:47:36:00	MENTAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS AS WELL
00:47:36:00	00:47:39:00	AS ADDICTION ISSUES THAT ARE
00:47:39:00	00:47:42:00	EITHER SUBSTITUTES FOR
00:47:42:00	00:47:43:00	TREATMENT FOR THAT MENTAL THAT
00:47:43:00	00:47:46:00	THEY ARE USING OR SORT OF PART
00:47:46:00	00:47:47:00	AND PARCEL WITH THAT.
00:47:47:00	00:47:49:00	BUT IT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE TO
00:47:49:00	00:47:50:00	ESSENTIALLY TREAT BOTH OF THEM
00:47:50:00	00:47:51:00	AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH IS AN
00:47:51:00	00:47:53:00	INCREDIBLY COMPLICATED PROCESS
00:47:53:00	00:47:54:00	TO THERE'S THAT THERE'S ALSO
00:47:54:00	00:47:57:00	THAT WE A LOT OF THE FOLKS OUT

00:47:59:00	00:48:00:00	MEDICAL ILLNESSES.

00:48:27:00	00:48:31:00	COUNCILOR LARRY WAS TRYING TO
00:48:31:00	00:48:32:00	GET ON AND EXTEND HIS

00:48:40:00	00:48:40:00	WHEN HE COMES BACK ON
00:48:40:00	00:48:41:00	COUNCILOR .
00:48:41:00	00:48:44:00	WELL, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
00:48:44:00	00:48:44:00	THANK YOU, CHAIR.
00:48:44:00	00:48:51:00	THANK YOU TO AND THE TEAM AT
00:48:51:00	00:48:52:00	PHC.
00:48:52:00	00:48:54:00	MY QUESTION IS AROUND VHA AND
00:48:54:00	00:48:59:00	THE A STRONG COMMUNITY LIKE THE
00:48:59:00	00:49:02:00	SENIOR LIVING JUST YOU WHEN YOU
00:49:02:00	00:49:03:00	GO OUT AND VISIT THOSE SITES
00:49:03:00	00:49:06:00	THEY TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY
00:49:06:00	00:49:07:00	REQUESTED MORE SERVICES, MORE
00:49:07:00	00:49:10:00	SUPPORT SERVICES, MORE MENTAL
00:49:10:00	00:49:11:00	HEALTH SERVICES, MORE SENIOR
00:49:11:00	00:49:13:00	SERVICES.
00:49:13:00	00:49:14:00	YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT TYPE
00:49:14:00	00:49:15:00	OF INVESTMENTS INITIATIVE
00:49:15:00	00:49:18:00	PROGRAMING THAT WE'RE DOING
00:49:18:00	00:49:18:00	WOULD BE AROUND A STRONG
00:49:18:00	00:49:20:00	COMMUNITY POPULATION.
00:49:20:00	00:49:31:00	SO I THINK THAT'S A GREAT POINT
00:49:31:00	00:49:32:00	WHEN WE ESTABLISH THE CENTER
00:49:32:00	00:49:32:00	FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND
00:49:32:00	00:49:33:00	WELLNESS LESS THAN A YEAR AGO
00:49:33:00	00:49:34:00	WE DID INTENTIONALLY FOCUS ON
00:49:34:00	00:49:37:00	YOUTH AND LARGELY THAT'S
00:49:37:00	00:49:40:00	BECAUSE LIMITED AMOUNT
00:49:40:00	00:49:41:00	OF INITIAL FUNDING REALLY
00:49:41:00	00:49:45:00	WANTING TO GET WORK DONE, GET
00:49:45:00	00:49:46:00	THINGS OUT THERE, REALLY
00:49:46:00	00:49:49:00	ADDRESS AN ISSUE THAT WE KNEW
00:49:49:00	00:49:50:00	WAS PRESSING AND THAT'S NOT TO
00:49:50:00	00:49:53:00	SAY ACROSS THE AGE SPAN
00:49:53:00	00:49:53:00	CERTAINLY MENTAL HEALTH,
00:49:53:00	00:49:57:00	BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ARE ISSUES.
00:49:57:00	00:50:00:00	SO I THINK THAT'S PART OF PART
00:50:00:00	00:50:01:00	OF THE ANSWER.
00:50:01:00	00:50:02:00	I WANT TO SORT OF EXPLAIN TO
00:50:02:00	00:50:04:00	YOU THESE ARE SOME ONGOING
00:50:04:00	00:50:05:00	DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAD ABOUT
00:50:05:00	00:50:05:00	WHERE WE SHOULD INVEST AND
00:50:05:00	00:50:08:00	WHERE WE SHOULD START FIRST.
00:50:08:00	00:50:12:00	OUR PLAN IS TO EXPAND THE
00:50:12:00	00:50:12:00	CENTER FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
00:50:12:00	00:50:16:00	WELLNESS WILL WILL LAST.
00:50:16:00	00:50:17:00	WE HOPE THAT WE'LL HAVE FUNDING
00:50:17:00	00:50:19:00	TO MOVE IN OTHER AREAS AND DO
00:50:19:00	00:50:19:00	MORE WORK.
00:50:19:00	00:50:22:00	MOST OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING
00:50:22:00	00:50:23:00	WITH A STRONG AND PARTNERING
00:50:23:00	00:50:24:00	WITH THEM ON IS HAS REALLY
00:50:24:00	00:50:27:00	FOCUSED IN ON COVID-19 AND FLU
00:50:27:00	00:50:28:00	VACCINATION AND ENSURING HEALTH
00:50:28:00	00:50:31:00	LITERACY AND SOME OF THAT WORK.
00:50:31:00	00:50:32:00	BUT I KNOW THAT THAT IS MENTAL
00:50:32:00	00:50:35:00	HEALTH IS ANOTHER CRITICAL AREA
00:50:35:00	00:50:36:00	AND WE HAVE BEEN SORT OF WE
00:50:36:00	00:50:39:00	HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THOSE
00:50:39:00	00:50:40:00	ISSUES WITH BOTH YOU KNOW, A
00:50:40:00	00:50:43:00	STRONG AND WITH OTHER ELDER
00:50:43:00	00:50:46:00	SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS.
00:50:46:00	00:50:46:00	THANK YOU.
00:50:46:00	00:50:47:00	SO IT SOUNDS LIKE A PILOT
00:50:47:00	00:50:50:00	PROGRAM IN A VERY, VERY
00:50:50:00	00:50:54:00	PREMATURE INITIAL STAGES OR SO
00:50:54:00	00:50:55:00	I WOULD SAY WE'RE KIND OF IN
00:50:55:00	00:50:55:00	THERE.
00:50:55:00	00:50:56:00	YEAH, IT'S WE'RE NOT EVEN AT
00:50:56:00	00:50:58:00	THE POINT OF PILOT I THINK WE
00:50:58:00	00:50:59:00	NEED TO FIGURE OUT KIND
00:50:59:00	00:51:00:00	OF WHERE THE MONEY WOULD COME
00:51:00:00	00:51:02:00	FROM, WHAT ANY SORT OF PROGRAM
00:51:02:00	00:51:03:00	WOULD LOOK LIKE.
00:51:03:00	00:51:06:00	BUT IT'S A NEAT AND I AGREE
00:51:06:00	00:51:10:00	WITH YOU AND THEN MY LAST
00:51:10:00	00:51:18:00	QUESTION IS MY NOTES KNOW CHAIR
00:51:18:00	00:51:19:00	I'LL WAIT FOR THE SECOND ROUND.
00:51:19:00	00:51:21:00	THANK YOU.
00:51:21:00	00:51:25:00	THANK YOU SO PANTSULA ARE YOU
00:51:25:00	00:51:29:00	HAVE THE FLOOR.
00:51:29:00	00:51:30:00	THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
00:51:30:00	00:51:31:00	SO I GUESS WHEN WE'RE TALKING
00:51:31:00	00:51:33:00	ABOUT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
00:51:33:00	00:51:34:00	OBVIOUSLY MY FOCUS IS REALLY
00:51:34:00	00:51:37:00	AROUND THE TRAUMA RESPONSE AND
00:51:37:00	00:51:38:00	SO I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE
00:51:38:00	00:51:41:00	ABOUT WHAT CHANGES ARE BEING
00:51:41:00	00:51:42:00	MADE TO THE MODEL AND WHAT KIND
00:51:42:00	00:51:44:00	OF EXPANSIONS ARE WE MAKING OR
00:51:44:00	00:51:45:00	INVESTMENTS ARE WE MAKING IN
00:51:45:00	00:51:48:00	THAT MODEL?
00:51:48:00	00:51:52:00	I AM I WOULD BE FINE TO SEE
00:51:52:00	00:51:53:00	INCREASES IN THE FINANCIAL
00:51:53:00	00:51:53:00	RESOURCES THAT ARE GOING INTO
00:51:53:00	00:51:54:00	THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:51:54:00	00:51:55:00	TRAUMA TEAMS.
00:51:55:00	00:51:56:00	BUT I DO THINK THAT THE MODEL
00:51:56:00	00:51:57:00	SPECIFICALLY RIGHT NOW IS NOT
00:51:57:00	00:51:59:00	LIKE IT'S JUST IT'S NOT AS
00:51:59:00	00:52:00:00	EFFECTIVE AS IT COULD BE.
00:52:00:00	00:52:01:00	AND SO ARE WE MAKING ANY
00:52:01:00	00:52:03:00	INVESTMENTS IN TRANSFORMING THE
00:52:03:00	00:52:04:00	MODEL OR IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
00:52:04:00	00:52:07:00	TRAUMA TEAMS?
00:52:07:00	00:52:08:00	AND IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION CAN
00:52:08:00	00:52:09:00	YOU COULD YOU CAN SHARE SOME
00:52:09:00	00:52:11:00	INFORMATION ABOUT HOW MANY
00:52:11:00	00:52:14:00	PEOPLE YOU'RE SERVING CURRENTLY
00:52:14:00	00:52:18:00	, HOW YOU PRIORITIZE THE CASES
00:52:18:00	00:52:19:00	YOU RESPOND TO HOW MANY PEOPLE
00:52:19:00	00:52:20:00	ARE IN EACH NEIGHBORHOOD AND SO
00:52:20:00	00:52:22:00	ON AND SO FORTH.
00:52:22:00	00:52:23:00	THAT'S THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
00:52:23:00	00:52:27:00	LET ME JUST OPEN UP ONE OTHER
00:52:27:00	00:52:28:00	DOCUMENT THAT I HAVE HERE TO I
00:52:28:00	00:52:37:00	THE NUMBERS AND OK OK SO I
00:52:37:00	00:52:41:00	THINK THE BIGGEST CHANGE THAT I
00:52:41:00	00:52:42:00	WANT TO EXPRESS AND I THINK
00:52:42:00	00:52:43:00	MOST OF YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS
00:52:43:00	00:52:45:00	IS THAT THE CITY IS DOING
00:52:45:00	00:52:46:00	STRATEGIC PLANNING AROUND
00:52:46:00	00:52:46:00	VIOLENCE AS A WHOLE.
00:52:46:00	00:52:50:00	SO IS RUNNING THE GAMUT FROM
00:52:50:00	00:52:52:00	PREVENTION TO INTERVENTION TO
00:52:52:00	00:52:53:00	TERTIARY PREVENTION MEANING
00:52:53:00	00:52:58:00	LONGER TERM AND FOLKS WHO HAVE
00:52:58:00	00:52:59:00	ALREADY EITHER BEEN
00:52:59:00	00:53:01:00	PERPETRATORS OF VIOLENCE OR
00:53:01:00	00:53:02:00	VICTIMS AND COMMUNITY
00:53:02:00	00:53:05:00	STABILIZATION POST TRAUMATIC
00:53:05:00	00:53:05:00	EVENTS.
00:53:05:00	00:53:06:00	SO THERE'S THAT PIECE WHICH I
00:53:06:00	00:53:09:00	THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
00:53:09:00	00:53:09:00	IT'S A PROCESS IT'S BEEN
00:53:09:00	00:53:12:00	ONGOING FOR A NUMBER OF MONTHS
00:53:12:00	00:53:13:00	AND THERE'S BEEN TRAINING
00:53:13:00	00:53:16:00	THAT'S GONE ALONG WITH IT AND
00:53:16:00	00:53:17:00	I'VE PARTICIPATED IN NUMEROUS
00:53:17:00	00:53:18:00	FOLKS ACROSS THE CITY
00:53:18:00	00:53:21:00	DEPARTMENTS AND IN OUR DIVISION
00:53:21:00	00:53:21:00	OF VIOLENCE PREVENTION HAVE
00:53:21:00	00:53:24:00	PARTICIPATED IN REGARDS TO THE
00:53:24:00	00:53:25:00	NEIGHBORHOOD TRAUMA TEAM.
00:53:25:00	00:53:28:00	ONE POINT THAT HAS ARISEN THAT
00:53:28:00	00:53:32:00	HAS BEEN POSED AS A NEW
00:53:32:00	00:53:35:00	INVESTMENT IS ENSURING THAT
00:53:35:00	00:53:36:00	SOMEBODY IS AVAILABLE ON CALL
00:53:36:00	00:53:39:00	TO RESPOND TO RESIDENTS NEEDS
00:53:39:00	00:53:40:00	24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A
00:53:40:00	00:53:43:00	WEEK, FIVE DAYS A YEAR.
00:53:43:00	00:53:47:00	NOW THAT WAS THE INTENTION, YOU
00:53:47:00	00:53:48:00	KNOW, FOR SOMEBODY TO ALWAYS BE
00:53:48:00	00:53:48:00	THERE.
00:53:48:00	00:53:51:00	YOU KNOW, IF YOU EXPERIENCE
00:53:51:00	00:53:52:00	VIOLENCE OR YOU HEARD GUNSHOTS,
00:53:52:00	00:53:55:00	YOU KNOW SOMEBODY WAS WAS WAS
00:53:55:00	00:53:59:00	SHOT AND YOU YOURSELF NEED
00:53:59:00	00:54:00:00	SUPPORT, THEN YOU NEED A
00:54:00:00	00:54:02:00	PSYCHOLOGICAL FIRST AID OR
00:54:02:00	00:54:02:00	SOMEONE SO FORTH.
00:54:02:00	00:54:03:00	SOMEBODY SHOULD BE THERE IF
00:54:03:00	00:54:04:00	THAT IS THE PROGRAM THAT WE ARE
00:54:04:00	00:54:06:00	FUNDING.
00:54:06:00	00:54:07:00	AND SO WE ACTUALLY HAD TO MAKE
00:54:07:00	00:54:10:00	SOME ADJUSTMENTS AND WE HAVE
00:54:10:00	00:54:14:00	NOW AS POZOLE BEEN FUNDED TO
00:54:14:00	00:54:15:00	HAVE THIS TWENTY FOUR SEVEN
00:54:15:00	00:54:18:00	CALL RESPONSE WORKED INTO THE
00:54:18:00	00:54:19:00	NEIGHBORHOOD TRAUMA TEAMS.
00:54:19:00	00:54:22:00	NOW IS THAT ALL THAT NEEDS TO
00:54:22:00	00:54:23:00	HAPPEN WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD
00:54:23:00	00:54:23:00	TRAUMA TEAMS?
00:54:23:00	00:54:27:00	I THINK THAT WHEN YOU SAY AND
00:54:27:00	00:54:28:00	I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU WHEN
00:54:28:00	00:54:28:00	YOU SAY HAVING THIS 24 HOUR
00:54:28:00	00:54:30:00	RESPONSE ARE YOU SAYING HAVING
00:54:30:00	00:54:31:00	ONE PERSON THAT'S ON CALL 24
00:54:31:00	00:54:32:00	HOURS A DAY ARE YOU HAVING A
00:54:32:00	00:54:34:00	NEIGHBORHOOD?
00:54:34:00	00:54:35:00	WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?
00:54:35:00	00:54:35:00	RIGHT.
00:54:35:00	00:54:36:00	SO I'M JUST GOING TO PULL THIS
00:54:36:00	00:54:38:00	BUT IT'S ANOTHER DOCUMENT
00:54:38:00	00:54:41:00	ESSENTIALLY THE IDEA IS NOT YET
00:54:41:00	00:54:42:00	EXACTLY HOW MANY PEOPLE THE
00:54:42:00	00:54:42:00	POINT IS TO HAVE ADDITIONAL
00:54:42:00	00:54:46:00	SUPPORT IN TRAUMA RESPONSE,
00:54:46:00	00:54:46:00	ADDITIONAL FEES.
00:54:46:00	00:54:49:00	IT'S STILL BEING DETERMINED.
00:54:49:00	00:54:50:00	IT LOOKS LIKE WE ASKED FOR TWO
00:54:50:00	00:54:53:00	HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO
00:54:53:00	00:54:54:00	SUPPORT OVER TIME FOR FOLKS OR
00:54:54:00	00:54:57:00	POTENTIALLY ADDITIONAL FEES FOR
00:54:57:00	00:54:58:00	FOLKS TO BE AVAILABLE WHEN
00:54:58:00	00:55:02:00	THERE IS A TRAUMATIC EVENT THAT
00:55:02:00	00:55:04:00	OCCURS SO THAT IS WHAT WAS
00:55:04:00	00:55:08:00	ASKED FOR WHAT I WAS WANTING TO
00:55:08:00	00:55:09:00	SAY IS THAT IS THAT ALL THAT
00:55:09:00	00:55:10:00	NECESSARILY NEEDS TO HAPPEN?
00:55:10:00	00:55:13:00	I THINK THAT THERE IS PART
00:55:13:00	00:55:13:00	OF THE STRATEGIC PLANNING
00:55:13:00	00:55:16:00	PROCESS IS TO THINK ABOUT HOW
00:55:16:00	00:55:17:00	THINGS MAY POTENTIALLY BE
00:55:17:00	00:55:20:00	DIFFERENT AND HOW YOU KNOW,
00:55:20:00	00:55:21:00	WHAT GAPS ACTUALLY NEED TO BE
00:55:21:00	00:55:21:00	FILLED.
00:55:21:00	00:55:24:00	SO THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON
00:55:24:00	00:55:27:00	WITH WITH ENTITY CURRENTLY.
00:55:27:00	00:55:29:00	OH, I CAN ALSO TELL YOU HOW
00:55:29:00	00:55:31:00	MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SERVED.
00:55:31:00	00:55:35:00	SO AN FBI TWENTY THREE OR THE
00:55:35:00	00:55:38:00	NEIGHBORHOOD TRAUMA TEAMS WE
00:55:38:00	00:55:39:00	PROVIDED SUPPORT TO NINETY
00:55:39:00	00:55:40:00	SEVEN PERCENT SO ONE HUNDRED
00:55:40:00	00:55:42:00	AND TWENTY SIX INCIDENTS
00:55:42:00	00:55:43:00	OF GUNS GUN OR STABBING RELATED
00:55:43:00	00:55:46:00	INCIDENTS CITYWIDE.
00:55:46:00	00:55:47:00	FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY SEVEN
00:55:47:00	00:55:50:00	RESIDENTS IMPACTED BY TRAUMA
00:55:50:00	00:55:51:00	RECEIVED STABILIZATION SHORT
00:55:51:00	00:55:52:00	TERM OR LONG TERM SUPPORT
00:55:52:00	00:55:54:00	SERVICES.
00:55:54:00	00:55:55:00	SO THOSE ARE THE SORT
00:55:55:00	00:55:58:00	OF MONITORING EVALUATION DATA
00:55:58:00	00:55:59:00	THAT WE COLLECTED.
00:55:59:00	00:56:02:00	AND DO YOU KNOW IF RESPOND TO
00:56:02:00	00:56:03:00	THESE MEANS THAT FOLKS WERE AT
00:56:03:00	00:56:04:00	THE SCENE THAT THEY RESPONDED
00:56:04:00	00:56:07:00	TO THE FAMILY MEMBERS, THAT
00:56:07:00	00:56:08:00	THEY WENT AFTER THE INCIDENT,
00:56:08:00	00:56:10:00	THAT THEY WENT TO A COUPLE
00:56:10:00	00:56:11:00	OF DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT?
00:56:11:00	00:56:14:00	SO I DON'T HAVE EACH INDIVIDUAL
00:56:14:00	00:56:15:00	INCIDENT TO BE ABLE TO COMMENT
00:56:15:00	00:56:19:00	ON EACH INDIVIDUAL BUT THAT IS
00:56:19:00	00:56:19:00	WHAT THIS MEANS.
00:56:19:00	00:56:21:00	ESSENTIALLY THERE WAS SOME
00:56:21:00	00:56:22:00	CONTACT WITH A RESIDENT WHO
00:56:22:00	00:56:23:00	REPORTED THAT THEY WERE
00:56:23:00	00:56:26:00	IMPACTED BY VIOLENCE.
00:56:26:00	00:56:27:00	IT MAY HAVE BEEN IMMEDIATELY
00:56:27:00	00:56:30:00	THAT DAY BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN
00:56:30:00	00:56:31:00	A LONG TERM NOT NECESSARILY THE
00:56:31:00	00:56:34:00	FAMILY OF THE VICTIM THEMSELVES
00:56:34:00	00:56:35:00	BUT JUST AROUND IT HAS EXACTLY
00:56:35:00	00:56:37:00	IMPACTED BY IT.
00:56:37:00	00:56:38:00	THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
00:56:38:00	00:56:41:00	OK, SO I I THINK I KNOW THAT
00:56:41:00	00:56:45:00	WE'VE BEEN IN CONVERSATION WITH
00:56:45:00	00:56:46:00	ISAAC YARBOROUGH WAS THE
00:56:46:00	00:56:49:00	MAYOR'S SENIOR ADVISOR FOR
00:56:49:00	00:56:50:00	COMMUNITY SAFETY AND I KNOW
00:56:50:00	00:56:51:00	THAT THIS IS A PART OF THE
00:56:51:00	00:56:53:00	VIOLENCE AND SO DO YOU HAVE AND
00:56:53:00	00:56:54:00	I KNOW I HAVE ACTUALLY RECEIVED
00:56:54:00	00:56:56:00	SOMETHING FROM ISAAC IN THE
00:56:56:00	00:56:57:00	LAST DAY SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE
00:56:57:00	00:56:58:00	THAT I READ THAT I KNOW WHAT
00:56:58:00	00:57:00:00	THE QUESTIONS MIGHT BE ANSWERED
00:57:00:00	00:57:00:00	THERE.
00:57:00:00	00:57:04:00	BUT WHAT WHAT IS IN TERMS
00:57:04:00	00:57:05:00	OF BP'S ROLE IN THE VIOLENCE
00:57:05:00	00:57:07:00	PREVENTION PLAN FOR BEHAVIORAL
00:57:07:00	00:57:08:00	?
00:57:08:00	00:57:09:00	HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS BEING
00:57:09:00	00:57:12:00	PROPOSED OR WHAT KIND
00:57:12:00	00:57:13:00	OF INCREASES EVEN IF IT'S NOT
00:57:13:00	00:57:13:00	NEIGHBORHOOD TRAUMA TEAM, WHAT
00:57:13:00	00:57:16:00	KIND OF OTHER INCREASES ARE
00:57:16:00	00:57:17:00	BEING PROPOSED FOR THIS PLAN
00:57:17:00	00:57:17:00	FOR BP?
00:57:17:00	00:57:17:00	SURE, SURE.
00:57:17:00	00:57:20:00	SO I WON'T SO LET'S PUT THE
00:57:20:00	00:57:23:00	NEIGHBORHOOD TRAUMA TEAM ASIDE.
00:57:23:00	00:57:24:00	WE ASKED IN TERMS OF NEW
00:57:24:00	00:57:27:00	INVESTMENTS FOR SEVERAL
00:57:27:00	00:57:28:00	ADDITIONAL ENHANCEMENTS TO OUR
00:57:28:00	00:57:31:00	PROGRAMING.
00:57:31:00	00:57:32:00	ONE IS THE MEN'S HEALTH
00:57:32:00	00:57:32:00	INITIATIVE.
00:57:32:00	00:57:36:00	SO AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT S
00:57:36:00	00:57:39:00	IS WHY I IS OUR SORT CASE
00:57:39:00	00:57:39:00	MANAGEMENT OUTREACH DIRECT
00:57:39:00	00:57:43:00	INTERACTION WITH FOLKS WHO ARE
00:57:43:00	00:57:44:00	HIGH RISK AND HAVE BEEN
00:57:44:00	00:57:46:00	IDENTIFIED FOR EXCUSE ME WHO
00:57:46:00	00:57:50:00	HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY BPD.
00:57:50:00	00:57:51:00	OUR PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT
00:57:51:00	00:57:52:00	IT DOES GREAT WORK AND HAS BEEN
00:57:52:00	00:57:54:00	WELL EVALUATED.
00:57:54:00	00:57:55:00	I MEAN THERE'S A PUBLISHED
00:57:55:00	00:57:56:00	PAPER ON HOW EFFECTIVE IT HAS
00:57:56:00	00:57:59:00	BEEN BUT IT'S ONLY FOCUSED ON
00:57:59:00	00:58:02:00	SEVENTEEN TO TWENTY FOUR YEAR
00:58:02:00	00:58:03:00	OLDS SO THERE'S A CUTOFF.
00:58:03:00	00:58:06:00	SO WE PILOTED THE MEN'S HEALTH
00:58:06:00	00:58:07:00	INITIATIVE WHICH BASICALLY
00:58:07:00	00:58:10:00	ENROLLS ANYBODY OVER TWENTY
00:58:10:00	00:58:11:00	FOUR WITH NO AGE LIMIT AND I
00:58:11:00	00:58:14:00	BELIEVE ABOUT SIXTY EIGHT
00:58:14:00	00:58:15:00	INDIVIDUALS WERE ENROLLED IN
00:58:15:00	00:58:15:00	THAT PROGRAM.
00:58:15:00	00:58:17:00	SIMILARLY THESE ARE INDIVIDUALS
00:58:17:00	00:58:18:00	HIGH RISK OF BEING EITHER A
00:58:18:00	00:58:21:00	VICTIM OR PERPETRATOR AND THEY
00:58:21:00	00:58:25:00	WERE OFFERED JOB TRAINING
00:58:25:00	00:58:26:00	MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS SOCIALES
00:58:26:00	00:58:29:00	OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES AND AS IT
00:58:29:00	00:58:32:00	APPEARS RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS THAT
00:58:32:00	00:58:33:00	THE WORK THAT THAT WAS DONE
00:58:33:00	00:58:37:00	THIS IS OBVIOUSLY JUST A PILOT
00:58:37:00	00:58:38:00	, A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE IT IS
00:58:38:00	00:58:39:00	SUCCESSFUL AND LIKELY WILL BE
00:58:39:00	00:58:41:00	SIMILARLY SUCCESSFUL AS AS IS
00:58:41:00	00:58:42:00	WHY IS THIS WHY IT'S BEEN SO WE
00:58:42:00	00:58:45:00	ASK FOR FUNDING FOR THAT.
00:58:45:00	00:58:46:00	IT IS NOT IN OUR NEW
00:58:46:00	00:58:49:00	INVESTMENTS AT THIS TIME BUT
00:58:49:00	00:58:50:00	THAT IS ONE OF THE PROGRAMS
00:58:50:00	00:58:50:00	THAT WE ASKED FOR.
00:58:50:00	00:58:53:00	SECONDLY, WE ALSO ASKED FOR
00:58:53:00	00:58:56:00	MONEY FOR THE VA FOR VIP WHICH
00:58:56:00	00:58:57:00	IS ANOTHER ONE OF OUR PROGRAMS
00:58:57:00	00:59:00:00	THAT FOCUSES ON PRIMARY
00:59:00:00	00:59:00:00	PREVENTION.
00:59:00:00	00:59:01:00	VIP IS THE VIOLENCE
00:59:01:00	00:59:04:00	INTERVENTION AND PREVENTION
00:59:04:00	00:59:04:00	PROGRAM.
00:59:04:00	00:59:05:00	IT WORKS TO PREVENT VIOLENCE BY
00:59:05:00	00:59:06:00	BUILDING A SUSTAINING
00:59:06:00	00:59:08:00	COMMUNITIES.
00:59:08:00	00:59:09:00	SO IT REALLY IS ABOUT
00:59:09:00	00:59:10:00	EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES TO
00:59:10:00	00:59:13:00	PREVENT VIOLENCE IN THE FIRST
00:59:13:00	00:59:13:00	PLACE.
00:59:13:00	00:59:14:00	KNOWING WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE
00:59:14:00	00:59:15:00	ROOT CAUSES OF VIOLENCE THEY
00:59:15:00	00:59:17:00	USE TRAUMA INFORMED COMMUNITY
00:59:17:00	00:59:17:00	ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES.
00:59:17:00	00:59:21:00	THEY ALSO DO A LOT OF WORK WITH
00:59:21:00	00:59:23:00	YOUTH IN COMMUNITIES AND WORKS
00:59:23:00	00:59:24:00	IN SIX MICRO NEIGHBORHOODS
00:59:24:00	00:59:24:00	THROUGHOUT BOSTON.
00:59:24:00	00:59:29:00	THE IDEA WITH THE ADDITIONAL
00:59:29:00	00:59:30:00	FUNDING IS THAT THERE IS NO VIP
00:59:30:00	00:59:33:00	PROGRAM IN HYDE PARK OR JP AND
00:59:33:00	00:59:35:00	AS WE KNOW THERE ARE AREAS
00:59:35:00	00:59:36:00	OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE WE
00:59:36:00	00:59:40:00	KNOW THAT THERE IS VIOLENCE HAS
00:59:40:00	00:59:41:00	OCCURRED.
00:59:41:00	00:59:42:00	SO THE IDEA WOULD BE TO GROW
00:59:42:00	00:59:43:00	THE PROGRAM AND ACTUALLY HAVE
00:59:43:00	00:59:44:00	PROGRAMING IN THOSE TWO
00:59:44:00	00:59:48:00	NEIGHBORHOODS.
00:59:48:00	00:59:48:00	THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.
00:59:48:00	00:59:50:00	I THINK A COVERAGE AROUND MY
00:59:50:00	00:59:58:00	TIME YOU'RE ON YOU WORK ON A
00:59:58:00	00:59:59:00	DID YOU HAVE ONE FINAL
00:59:59:00	00:59:59:00	QUESTION?
00:59:59:00	01:00:00:00	NO, I HAVE MORE I HAVE
01:00:00:00	01:00:03:00	PROGRAMMATIC QUESTIONS.
01:00:03:00	01:00:04:00	I CAN DO THEM ON THE SECOND
01:00:04:00	01:00:04:00	ROUND.
01:00:04:00	01:00:05:00	THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
01:00:05:00	01:00:09:00	OK, THANK YOU.

01:00:10:00	01:00:13:00	ROUND I WILL NOW GO TO OUR
01:00:13:00	01:00:17:00	PUBLIC TESTIMONY.

01:00:21:00	01:00:21:00	YEP.
01:00:21:00	01:00:22:00	SO LET'S GO TO OUR SITE.
01:00:22:00	01:00:23:00	SORRY I THOUGHT WE WERE I
01:00:23:00	01:00:24:00	THOUGHT THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE
01:00:24:00	01:00:25:00	IN FRONT OF ME.
01:00:25:00	01:00:26:00	THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER PEOPLE
01:00:26:00	01:00:27:00	IN FRONT OF YOU BUT THAT WRAPS
01:00:27:00	01:00:28:00	UP OUR FIRST ROUND.
01:00:28:00	01:00:29:00	WE'RE GOING TO TESTIMONY IF YOU
01:00:29:00	01:00:32:00	HAVE ONE OR TWO QUESTIONS AND
01:00:32:00	01:00:33:00	YOU WANTED TO DO THAT BEFORE
01:00:33:00	01:00:33:00	PUBLIC TESTIMONY SINCE WE HAVE
01:00:33:00	01:00:36:00	SUCH A LARGE LIST.

01:01:07:00	01:01:08:00	AT TWENTY EIGHT HUNDRED AND
01:01:08:00	01:01:12:00	EQUI TWENTY THREE AND THAT YOUR
01:01:12:00	01:01:12:00	GOAL IS TO MAINTAIN THEM.
01:01:12:00	01:01:14:00	IS THERE A REASON WHY THE GOAL
01:01:14:00	01:01:18:00	IS NOT TO LESSEN THE NUMBER
01:01:18:00	01:01:22:00	OF CASES SO COUNCILOR , MY GOAL
01:01:22:00	01:01:25:00	WOULD BE TO WOULD BE TO
01:01:25:00	01:01:33:00	ELIMINATE EVERYBODY SO YEAH NO
01:01:33:00	01:01:34:00	WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THAT DATA
01:01:34:00	01:01:34:00	FROM?

01:01:35:00	01:01:37:00	JUST TELL YOU SO WE EXPLAINED
01:01:37:00	01:01:38:00	THIS EARLIER WE'RE PUBLISHING
01:01:38:00	01:01:40:00	OUR HEALTH THE BOSTON REPORTS
01:01:40:00	01:01:41:00	IT SHOULD BE PUBLISHED IN THE
01:01:41:00	01:01:42:00	NEXT TWO WEEKS ONLINE SO YOU
01:01:42:00	01:01:45:00	WOULD BE ABLE TO VIEW THEM.
01:01:45:00	01:01:45:00	ONE OF THEM IS OUR ASTHMA
01:01:45:00	01:01:49:00	REPORT AND I CAN I KNOW WHAT'S
01:01:49:00	01:01:49:00	IN THE ASTHMA REPORT.
01:01:49:00	01:01:51:00	YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT FROM THE
01:01:51:00	01:01:52:00	ASTHMA REPORT.
01:01:52:00	01:01:53:00	THIS IS FROM THE SELECTED
01:01:53:00	01:01:54:00	PERFORMANCE GOALS THAT YOU AND
01:01:54:00	01:01:56:00	SO THE SELECTED PERFORMANCE
01:01:56:00	01:01:57:00	GOALS SHOW THE ACTUALS FOUR
01:01:57:00	01:02:00:00	POINT TWENTY THREE AND THEN IT
01:02:00:00	01:02:01:00	HAS THE GOAL FOR IT BY TWENTY
01:02:01:00	01:02:03:00	FOUR UNDER IT AND SO THEY ARE
01:02:03:00	01:02:04:00	THEY IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WANT
01:02:04:00	01:02:05:00	THAT THE GOAL IS TO REMAIN THE
01:02:05:00	01:02:06:00	SAME OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW I KNOW
01:02:06:00	01:02:07:00	THAT OUR GOAL IS TO GET THEM
01:02:07:00	01:02:08:00	FOR EVERY TWENTY FOUR
01:02:08:00	01:02:09:00	SPECIFICALLY AND THE REASON WHY
01:02:09:00	01:02:11:00	I'M ASKING THAT IS BECAUSE I'M

01:02:27:00	01:02:28:00	BY ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND A
01:02:28:00	01:02:31:00	LITTLE BIT UNDER A HUNDRED
01:02:31:00	01:02:31:00	THOUSAND.

01:02:36:00	01:02:38:00	TELL YOU THAT I THINK WE NEED
01:02:38:00	01:02:39:00	TO WAIT FOR THE HEALTH
01:02:39:00	01:02:42:00	OF BOSTON AIRPORT SO WE KNOW
01:02:42:00	01:02:43:00	REALLY WHAT'S HAPPENING.
01:02:43:00	01:02:45:00	BUT WE HAVE ASTHMA NOT ONLY
01:02:45:00	01:02:46:00	PROBLEMS BUT WE HAVE ASTHMA
01:02:46:00	01:02:47:00	MORBIDITY SO WE HAVE
01:02:47:00	01:02:48:00	HOSPITALIZATIONS ACROSS EVERY
01:02:48:00	01:02:49:00	AGE, EVERY RACE AND I THINK
01:02:49:00	01:02:50:00	THAT IS REALLY WHAT YOU NEED TO
01:02:50:00	01:02:53:00	BE FOCUSED ON IN TERMS
01:02:53:00	01:02:54:00	OF THINKING ABOUT WHAT IT IS WE
01:02:54:00	01:02:57:00	NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY.
01:02:57:00	01:02:58:00	JUST SO YOU KNOW IN NY TWENTY
01:02:58:00	01:02:58:00	THREE WE DID CONDUCT THREE
01:02:58:00	01:03:01:00	HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE ASTHMA
01:03:01:00	01:03:01:00	PREVENTION AND CONTROL VISITS
01:03:01:00	01:03:04:00	AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROGRAM
01:03:04:00	01:03:05:00	DOES?
01:03:05:00	01:03:06:00	IT PROVIDES EDUCATION SUPPORT
01:03:06:00	01:03:09:00	DECREASE ASTHMA TRIGGERS
01:03:09:00	01:03:10:00	REFERRALS TO HOSPITALS AND SO
01:03:10:00	01:03:10:00	FORTH.
01:03:10:00	01:03:12:00	AND THEN WE ALSO OF NOTE
01:03:12:00	01:03:12:00	TRAINED FIFTY FIVE COMMUNITY
01:03:12:00	01:03:13:00	HEALTH WORKERS AND ASTHMA
01:03:13:00	01:03:17:00	HOME-BUILDING TOPICS.
01:03:17:00	01:03:18:00	SO I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY
01:03:18:00	01:03:18:00	IMPORTANT TO DO.
01:03:18:00	01:03:19:00	YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON NEW
01:03:19:00	01:03:21:00	INVESTMENTS IN THE ASTHMA
01:03:21:00	01:03:21:00	ASTHMA PROGRAM?
01:03:21:00	01:03:22:00	I DON'T SURE.
01:03:22:00	01:03:25:00	YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE THAT
01:03:25:00	01:03:26:00	INCREASES JUST IT'S ESSENTIALLY
01:03:26:00	01:03:28:00	LEVELS FUNDING FOR THIS YEAR.
01:03:28:00	01:03:29:00	IT'S AN INCREASE OF SEVENTY TWO
01:03:29:00	01:03:32:00	HUNDRED OR SO NOT WHAT THAT
01:03:32:00	01:03:33:00	SMALL AMOUNT IS I CAN FIND OUT
01:03:33:00	01:03:36:00	BUT ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
01:03:36:00	01:03:37:00	PIECE I SHOULD SAY FOR THE
01:03:37:00	01:03:40:00	TOTAL CAIB BUREAU THAT'S GOING
01:03:40:00	01:03:41:00	UP BY ONE HUNDRED TWENTY SIX
01:03:41:00	01:03:42:00	THOUSAND AND THAT'S DUE TO THE
01:03:42:00	01:03:44:00	TRANSFER TRANSFER OF THE FTE
01:03:44:00	01:03:48:00	FROM ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS TO
01:03:48:00	01:03:51:00	AROUND THE NOISE ORDINANCE WORK
01:03:51:00	01:03:52:00	THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING.
01:03:52:00	01:03:52:00	OK, GOT IT.
01:03:52:00	01:03:54:00	SO THE INCREASE IS BASED ON
01:03:54:00	01:03:56:00	WORK THAT'S BEEN TAKEN UP BY
01:03:56:00	01:03:56:00	THE COMMUNITY INITIATIVES
01:03:56:00	01:03:57:00	BUREAU NOT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING
01:03:57:00	01:03:59:00	TO BE INCREASED INVESTMENT IN
01:03:59:00	01:04:02:00	THE OTHER PROGRAMMATIC AREAS TO
01:04:02:00	01:04:07:00	ACHIEVE WHAT WHAT I HAVE USED
01:04:07:00	01:04:07:00	IT AS WELL.
01:04:07:00	01:04:08:00	SO ESSENTIALLY STATE LEVEL
01:04:08:00	01:04:10:00	LEVELS LOOK TO YOU.
01:04:10:00	01:04:14:00	THANK YOU AND MY FINAL QUESTION

01:04:43:00	01:04:45:00	OF REALLY LOOKING AT THE
01:04:45:00	01:04:46:00	HOUSING CRISIS.

01:08:15:00	01:08:18:00	AFFILIATED WITH BOSTON
01:08:18:00	01:08:19:00	UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF SOCIAL
01:08:19:00	01:08:19:00	WORK.
01:08:19:00	01:08:22:00	I AM A PUBLIC HEALTH SOCIAL
01:08:22:00	01:08:26:00	WORKER AND I AM FORMER RESIDENT
01:08:26:00	01:08:30:00	OF ROXBURY AND DORCHESTER AND
01:08:30:00	01:08:31:00	SO I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE
01:08:31:00	01:08:34:00	BIT ABOUT THE PROPOSAL THAT
01:08:34:00	01:08:45:00	WENT THROUGH FOR THE COMMUNITY
01:08:45:00	01:08:46:00	BASED MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS
01:08:46:00	01:08:47:00	RESPONSE MODEL AND HOW THAT
01:08:47:00	01:08:47:00	CAME ABOUT IN THE IMPORTANCE
01:08:47:00	01:08:48:00	OF IMPLEMENTING THAT THERE HAVE
01:08:48:00	01:08:51:00	BEEN LOTS OF GREAT WORK DONE BY
01:08:51:00	01:08:52:00	THE COMMISSION, THE BEST TEAM
01:08:52:00	01:08:55:00	ETC. AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT
01:08:55:00	01:08:58:00	THEY'RE VERY OVERWHELMED AS A
01:08:58:00	01:08:59:00	CLINICIAN THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES
01:08:59:00	01:09:02:00	WHERE I'VE CALLED THE BEST TEAM
01:09:02:00	01:09:05:00	AND IT'S TAKEN SEVERAL HOURS
01:09:05:00	01:09:06:00	FOR THEM TO SHOW UP AND AGAIN
01:09:06:00	01:09:09:00	THEY'RE DOING INCREDIBLE WORK.
01:09:09:00	01:09:10:00	IT'S JUST THEY'RE IN OVER THEIR
01:09:10:00	01:09:14:00	HEADS AND I THINK THEY'RE THERE
01:09:14:00	01:09:17:00	NEEDS TO BE AN ALTERNATIVE.
01:09:17:00	01:09:17:00	THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE
01:09:17:00	01:09:21:00	I'VE CALLED THE BEST TEAM AND
01:09:21:00	01:09:21:00	SPECIFICALLY SAID DO NOT BRING
01:09:21:00	01:09:25:00	THE POLICE BECAUSE I KNEW THAT
01:09:25:00	01:09:26:00	WOULD INSTIGATE A SITUATION
01:09:26:00	01:09:32:00	WHERE A PATIENT OF MINE WOULD
01:09:32:00	01:09:36:00	USE THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
01:09:36:00	01:09:40:00	DIE BY SUICIDE AND HOW THAT
01:09:40:00	01:09:44:00	SHOULDN'T BE AN OPTION AND ALSO
01:09:44:00	01:09:48:00	RISKS THEIR OWN SAFETY IN
01:09:48:00	01:09:49:00	ADDITION AND I THINK IT'S
01:09:49:00	01:09:52:00	IMPORTANT THAT THERE IS FOLLOW
01:09:52:00	01:09:53:00	THROUGH WITH THE PLAN THAT WAS
01:09:53:00	01:09:56:00	CREATED BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS
01:09:56:00	01:09:56:00	AND STAKEHOLDERS.
01:09:56:00	01:10:00:00	I THINK IT'S A REALLY AN
01:10:00:00	01:10:00:00	OPPORTUNITY TO DEMONSTRATE YES,
01:10:00:00	01:10:03:00	WE WILL FUND COMMITTEE MEMBERS
01:10:03:00	01:10:04:00	TO CREATE INITIATIVES BUT ALSO
01:10:04:00	01:10:07:00	LISTEN IN ADDITION BECAUSE IT
01:10:07:00	01:10:11:00	CAN SEND A MESSAGE THAT YES, WE
01:10:11:00	01:10:12:00	CAN LET YOU DO ALL THE PLANNING
01:10:12:00	01:10:15:00	YOU WANT BUT AT THE THEY WERE
01:10:15:00	01:10:19:00	NOT GOING TO IMPLEMENT IT.
01:10:19:00	01:10:19:00	THANK YOU.
01:10:19:00	01:10:22:00	THAT IS YOUR TIME.
01:10:22:00	01:10:22:00	YEAH.
01:10:22:00	01:10:26:00	I ALSO WANT TO REITERATE THAT
01:10:26:00	01:10:27:00	THE MODEL WOULD ONLY COST TWO
01:10:27:00	01:10:30:00	POINT SIX MILLION DOLLARS WHICH
01:10:30:00	01:10:31:00	IS A VERY SMALL FRACTION
01:10:31:00	01:10:34:00	OF WHAT THE BUDGET IS FOR THE
01:10:34:00	01:10:35:00	BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT.
01:10:35:00	01:10:37:00	IT'S EQUIVALENT OF TWO POINT
01:10:37:00	01:10:42:00	FIVE DAYS OF FUNDING AND SO IT
01:10:42:00	01:10:43:00	SOUNDS LIKE A LOT BUT IT'S
01:10:43:00	01:10:46:00	ACTUALLY NOT VERY MUCH IN

01:27:14:00	01:27:15:00	WE ARE COMMITTED TO FIGHTING
01:27:15:00	01:27:16:00	FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS
01:27:16:00	01:27:18:00	PILOT.
01:27:18:00	01:27:19:00	THIS MODEL WAS GENERATED OVER A
01:27:19:00	01:27:20:00	YEAR OF A COMMUNITY LED DESIGN
01:27:20:00	01:27:23:00	PROCESS FUNDED BY THE CITY.
01:27:23:00	01:27:25:00	THE MODEL IS CONSENT BASED FREE
01:27:25:00	01:27:26:00	TO USE NON CARCERAL IN A NON
01:27:26:00	01:27:29:00	POLICE MODEL THERE IS CURRENTLY
01:27:29:00	01:27:30:00	NO MENTAL HEALTH RESPONSE IN
01:27:30:00	01:27:31:00	BOSTON THAT ASSURES THAT IF YOU
01:27:31:00	01:27:34:00	CALL YOU WILL NEVER BE FACED
01:27:34:00	01:27:35:00	WITH INVOLUNTARY INVOLUNTARY
01:27:35:00	01:27:37:00	INSTITUTIONALIZATION.
01:27:37:00	01:27:38:00	THERE IS NO OTHER RESPONSE IN
01:27:38:00	01:27:39:00	BOSTON AS COMMITTED TO NOT

01:27:46:00	01:27:47:00	POLICE OR ARRIVE WITH POLICE
01:27:47:00	01:27:50:00	AND THAT MAKES UNSAFE FOR US TO
01:27:50:00	01:27:51:00	CALL FOR FEAR, CRIMINALIZATION
01:27:51:00	01:27:53:00	AND BRUTALITY AS A MEMBER

01:27:54:00	01:27:57:00	I'VE SEEN DIRECTLY WHAT HAPPENS
01:27:57:00	01:27:58:00	WHEN THIS KIND OF RESOURCE
01:27:58:00	01:28:00:00	ISN'T AVAILABLE SO IT
01:28:00:00	01:28:01:00	ARTIFICIAL WAS MURDERED BY

01:28:02:00	01:28:04:00	A DISCARDABLE MENTAL HEALTH
01:28:04:00	01:28:05:00	CRISIS AND IT HAUNTS ME EVERY
01:28:05:00	01:28:05:00	DAY TO THINK ABOUT HOW EASILY
01:28:05:00	01:28:08:00	WE COULD HAVE SAVED HIS LIFE

01:37:13:00	01:37:14:00	SUPPORTED THE STATE VIOLENCE
01:37:14:00	01:37:17:00	OF POLICING AND SO I STAND

01:37:22:00	01:37:24:00	ENOUGH.
01:37:24:00	01:37:25:00	RIGHT THAT THE POLICING CREATES
01:37:25:00	01:37:29:00	NEGATIVE OUTCOMES ROOTED IN
01:37:29:00	01:37:33:00	ANTIBLACK RACISM ROOTED IN
01:37:33:00	01:37:33:00	COLONIALISM AND WE KNOW THAT
01:37:33:00	01:37:36:00	VICTIMS OF POLICE STATE
01:37:36:00	01:37:37:00	VIOLENCE HAVE INCREASED RATES
01:37:37:00	01:37:40:00	OF SUICIDALITY HAVE INCREASED
01:37:40:00	01:37:41:00	RATES OF DEPRESSION, PTSD AND
01:37:41:00	01:37:44:00	ANXIETY AND THESE ARE NOT JUST
01:37:44:00	01:37:45:00	FROM ENCOUNTERS WITH POLICE
01:37:45:00	01:37:48:00	THAT ARE VISIBLY NOTABLY
01:37:48:00	01:37:52:00	VIOLENT BUT POLICE ENCOUNTERS
01:37:52:00	01:37:53:00	THAT MIGHT SEEM VERY BENIGN TO
01:37:53:00	01:37:55:00	POLICE OFFICERS RIGHT.
01:37:55:00	01:37:57:00	BUT THAT WE DO NOT FEEL BENIGN
01:37:57:00	01:37:58:00	IN OUR BODIES AND IN OUR
01:37:58:00	01:38:00:00	FAMILIES AND IN OUR
01:38:00:00	01:38:00:00	COMMUNITIES.
01:38:00:00	01:38:01:00	SO AND WHEN IT COMES TO POLICE
01:38:01:00	01:38:04:00	SHOOTINGS AS OTHER AS OTHER
01:38:04:00	01:38:05:00	YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY
01:38:05:00	01:38:07:00	VOICED HERE, AT LEAST A QUARTER
01:38:07:00	01:38:08:00	OF FATAL POLICE SHOOTINGS ARE
01:38:08:00	01:38:11:00	AGAINST INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL
01:38:11:00	01:38:15:00	ILLNESS AND IN SOME ESTIMATES
01:38:15:00	01:38:16:00	IT'S MUCH HIGHER CLOSE TO 58
01:38:16:00	01:38:19:00	PERCENT RIGHT.
01:38:19:00	01:38:20:00	WE KNOW THAT WHEN ONE POLICE
01:38:20:00	01:38:23:00	ACTIVELY HARM THOSE WITH MENTAL
01:38:23:00	01:38:24:00	HEALTH CONCERNS THAT THIS IS
01:38:24:00	01:38:26:00	SYSTEMIC.
01:38:26:00	01:38:26:00	IT'S NOT COINCIDENTAL.
01:38:26:00	01:38:30:00	UH, THE POLICE SYSTEM'S
01:38:30:00	01:38:31:00	CONSISTENT VIOLENT ACTIONS
01:38:31:00	01:38:34:00	AGAINST THOSE OF US WITH MENTAL
01:38:34:00	01:38:35:00	ILLNESS MEANS THAT DIVESTING
01:38:35:00	01:38:38:00	FROM POLICE INTO MENTAL HEALTH
01:38:38:00	01:38:39:00	RESPONSE IS A COMMUNITY SAFETY

01:40:07:00	01:40:08:00	, DORCHESTER AND MATTAPAN ARE
01:40:08:00	01:40:09:00	SUFFERING WITH MENTAL HEALTH

01:40:19:00	01:40:20:00	OUR PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES THAT
01:40:20:00	01:40:23:00	SHOULD BE ADDRESSED DIRECTLY BY

01:40:34:00	01:40:35:00	THE IMPACT OF YOUTH AND THEIR

01:40:42:00	01:40:42:00	THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS
01:40:42:00	01:40:45:00	RESPONSE PILOT IS A RADICALLY
01:40:45:00	01:40:46:00	DIFFERENT APPROACH BASED ON

01:40:58:00	01:40:59:00	OPTION BUT THE ONLY VIABLE WAY
01:40:59:00	01:41:02:00	THAT DOES NOT ADD A BAND-AID TO
01:41:02:00	01:41:03:00	THE PROBLEM AND THE LONG

01:41:36:00	01:41:40:00	WILL BE TESTIFYING TODAY SO
01:41:40:00	01:41:41:00	THERE USED TO BE A TIME WHERE I
01:41:41:00	01:41:42:00	DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE KIND
01:41:42:00	01:41:44:00	OF SERVICES POLICE OFFICERS
01:41:44:00	01:41:45:00	PROVIDED TO COMMUNITY WHEN I

01:41:52:00	01:41:53:00	BUT AS I GOT OLDER I STARTED TO
01:41:53:00	01:41:56:00	UNDERSTAND THE REALITY OF THE
01:41:56:00	01:41:57:00	SITUATION IN WHAT POLICE
01:41:57:00	01:42:00:00	OFFICERS ACTUALLY DID.
01:42:00:00	01:42:01:00	I STARTED TO UNDERSTAND THAT
01:42:01:00	01:42:02:00	THE ONLY GROUPS OF PEOPLE
01:42:02:00	01:42:04:00	POLICE OFFICERS WERE HERE TO

01:42:08:00	01:42:09:00	STRUCTURES THE POLICE SYSTEM
01:42:09:00	01:42:09:00	WAS SPOKE FROM.
01:42:09:00	01:42:12:00	THE REALITY IS POLICE HAVE
01:42:12:00	01:42:13:00	KILLED AND INCARCERATED
01:42:13:00	01:42:13:00	THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT BLACK AND
01:42:13:00	01:42:16:00	BROWN PEOPLE WHEN OUR COMMUNITY
01:42:16:00	01:42:17:00	CAUSED THEM TO RESPOND TO
01:42:17:00	01:42:20:00	EITHER VIOLENCE OR MENTAL
01:42:20:00	01:42:21:00	PROCESSES, THEY TAKE A LONG
01:42:21:00	01:42:22:00	TIME WHEN THEY DO SHOW UP THEIR
01:42:22:00	01:42:24:00	APPROACHES ME COMMUNITY MEMBERS
01:42:24:00	01:42:25:00	WITH VIOLENCE WITH PUNITIVE
01:42:25:00	01:42:27:00	CONSEQUENCES OR WITH FEAR.
01:42:27:00	01:42:28:00	I'M HERE ADVOCATING THAT WE
01:42:28:00	01:42:29:00	TAKE TWO POINT SIX MILLION
01:42:29:00	01:42:32:00	DOLLARS FROM THE POLICE BUDGET

01:42:48:00	01:42:49:00	TRANSFORMATIVE FOR OUR

01:42:51:00	01:42:52:00	STRUCTURES THAT COME FROM WHITE
01:42:52:00	01:42:52:00	PEOPLE ON HOW TO KEEP OUR
01:42:52:00	01:42:54:00	PEOPLE SAFE.
01:42:54:00	01:42:55:00	WE NEED THESE STRUCTURES TO BE
01:42:55:00	01:42:56:00	MADE BY THE PEOPLE OR THE
01:42:56:00	01:42:56:00	PEOPLE.

01:43:05:00	01:43:09:00	GOOD AFTERNOON
01:43:09:00	01:43:10:00	COUNCILOR ANDERSON AND CITY
01:43:10:00	01:43:11:00	COUNCIL MEMBERS.
01:43:11:00	01:43:11:00	THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.
01:43:11:00	01:43:14:00	MY NAME IS CHLOE FRANKEL.
01:43:14:00	01:43:15:00	I AM A CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER,
01:43:15:00	01:43:18:00	A RESIDENT OF JAMAICA PLAIN AND
01:43:18:00	01:43:19:00	A MEMBER OF THE IMMIGRATION
01:43:19:00	01:43:21:00	HEALTH GROUP AND WAS ALSO
01:43:21:00	01:43:22:00	HONORED TO BE PART OF THE
01:43:22:00	01:43:22:00	FACILITATION TEAM FOR THE
01:43:22:00	01:43:25:00	COMMUNITY OF DESIGN PROCESS.
01:43:25:00	01:43:28:00	AND I WANT TO SPEAK TODAY
01:43:28:00	01:43:29:00	ECHOING WHAT MY COLLEAGUES HERE
01:43:29:00	01:43:33:00	HAVE SAID AND CALLING FOR A TWO
01:43:33:00	01:43:34:00	POINT SIX MILLION DOLLARS TO BE
01:43:34:00	01:43:35:00	TWO POINT SEVEN SORRY I MOVED
01:43:35:00	01:43:37:00	TO FROM THE BPD BUDGET INTO THE
01:43:37:00	01:43:38:00	COMMUNITY LED MENTAL CRISIS
01:43:38:00	01:43:40:00	RESPONSE PROGRAM.
01:43:40:00	01:43:41:00	AS YOU HEARD FROM FOLKS TODAY,
01:43:41:00	01:43:43:00	WE KNOW THAT CRISIS RESPONSE
01:43:43:00	01:43:44:00	MUST BE ROOTED IN TRUST,
01:43:44:00	01:43:45:00	RELATIONSHIP AND CONSENT AND
01:43:45:00	01:43:48:00	THAT EVERYTHING LEADS TO WORSE
01:43:48:00	01:43:49:00	OUTCOMES WHEN THAT IS NOT THE
01:43:49:00	01:43:51:00	CASE.
01:43:51:00	01:43:53:00	PART OF WHAT I WANT TO TALK
01:43:53:00	01:43:53:00	ABOUT TODAY IS PREVENTION AND
01:43:53:00	01:43:56:00	DIVERSION.
01:43:56:00	01:43:57:00	ONE OF THE ISSUES IS THAT WHEN
01:43:57:00	01:43:57:00	PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOING
01:43:57:00	01:43:59:00	TO SHOW UP OR THEY WORRY THAT
01:43:59:00	01:44:00:00	THE PERSON WHO SHOWS UP IS
01:44:00:00	01:44:01:00	GOING TO MAKE THINGS WORSE,
01:44:01:00	01:44:03:00	THEY'RE LESS LIKELY TO CALL FOR
01:44:03:00	01:44:03:00	HELP.
01:44:03:00	01:44:04:00	I WAS VERY PLEASED TO HEAR
01:44:04:00	01:44:07:00	COUNCILOR ARROYO EARLIER TALK
01:44:07:00	01:44:07:00	ABOUT PREVENTION AND DIVERSION
01:44:07:00	01:44:10:00	AND I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT
01:44:10:00	01:44:11:00	THERE IS ALREADY A PRECEDENT IN
01:44:11:00	01:44:12:00	MASSACHUSETTS FOR EFFECTIVE
01:44:12:00	01:44:15:00	COST SAVING VOLUNTARY COMMUNITY
01:44:15:00	01:44:15:00	BASED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
01:44:15:00	01:44:19:00	THAT PRESERVE THE DIGNITY
01:44:19:00	01:44:19:00	OF THOSE RECEIVING SERVICES.
01:44:19:00	01:44:21:00	I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING AS A
01:44:21:00	01:44:22:00	COMMUNITY SOCIAL WORKER FOR
01:44:22:00	01:44:23:00	OVER 15 YEARS AND MANY OF THOSE
01:44:23:00	01:44:26:00	YEARS WHERE I WAS PART OF AN
01:44:26:00	01:44:27:00	IN-HOME THERAPY OR FAMILY
01:44:27:00	01:44:30:00	STABILIZATION TEAM, THESE TEAMS
01:44:30:00	01:44:31:00	WERE DEVELOPED AS PART OF A
01:44:31:00	01:44:34:00	CONTINUUM OF CARE IN 2007 2008
01:44:34:00	01:44:34:00	AS PART OF THE CHILDREN'S
01:44:34:00	01:44:38:00	BEHAVIORAL INITIATIVE IN BOSTON
01:44:38:00	01:44:39:00	AND THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND
01:44:39:00	01:44:39:00	THESE TEAMS MEET WITH CLIENTS
01:44:39:00	01:44:42:00	AT HOME ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS TO
01:44:42:00	01:44:43:00	PROVIDE THERAPEUTIC SUPPORT AND
01:44:43:00	01:44:45:00	CRISIS RESPONSE AND IMPORTANTLY
01:44:45:00	01:44:46:00	TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH
01:44:46:00	01:44:49:00	FOLKS BEFORE CRISIS MOMENTS ARE
01:44:49:00	01:44:49:00	REACHED.
01:44:49:00	01:44:50:00	I KNOW, COUNCILOR ANDERSON,
01:44:50:00	01:44:53:00	THAT YOU'RE A FAN OF FACTS AND
01:44:53:00	01:44:54:00	FIGURES AND SO THERE IS A LOT
01:44:54:00	01:44:57:00	OF DATA AVAILABLE ON MASATAKA
01:44:57:00	01:44:58:00	SHOWING THAT YEAR AFTER YEAR
01:44:58:00	01:44:58:00	THESE PROGRAMS HAVE REDUCED THE
01:44:58:00	01:45:01:00	NEED FOR PATIENT
01:45:01:00	01:45:02:00	HOSPITALIZATION AND OR
01:45:02:00	01:45:05:00	INCREMENTS BY OVER 50 PERCENT.
01:45:05:00	01:45:06:00	AND A STUDY CONDUCTED BY THE
01:45:06:00	01:45:07:00	NATIONAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
01:45:07:00	01:45:08:00	CENTER FOR CHILDREN'S MENTAL
01:45:08:00	01:45:09:00	HEALTH ESTIMATES THAT IN
01:45:09:00	01:45:12:00	MASSACHUSETTS COST FOR FAMILIES
01:45:12:00	01:45:13:00	RECEIVING CBJ IRA SERVICES
01:45:13:00	01:45:13:00	COMPARED TO OTHER FAMILIES WERE
01:45:13:00	01:45:16:00	REDUCED BY 40 PERCENT.
01:45:16:00	01:45:17:00	SO THERE'S REALLY CLEAR DATA
01:45:17:00	01:45:18:00	SHOWING THAT THESE ARE COST
01:45:18:00	01:45:20:00	SAVING MEASURES THROUGH
01:45:20:00	01:45:24:00	PREVENTION AND DIVERSION AND I
01:45:24:00	01:45:25:00	WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT CBG IS
01:45:25:00	01:45:26:00	NOT THE SAME AS THE MODEL THAT
01:45:26:00	01:45:27:00	WE'RE PROPOSING.
01:45:27:00	01:45:28:00	THEY DO HAVE A PARENT PARTNER
01:45:28:00	01:45:31:00	PROGRAM AND THEY DO HAVE SOME
01:45:31:00	01:45:32:00	COMPONENTS OF PEER SUPPORT BUT
01:45:32:00	01:45:35:00	THEY ARE NOT COMMUNITY DRIVEN,
01:45:35:00	01:45:35:00	COMMUNITY LED.
01:45:35:00	01:45:38:00	SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS
01:45:38:00	01:45:39:00	REALLY, REALLY, REALLY ROOTED
01:45:39:00	01:45:42:00	IN COMMUNITY AND IN PEOPLE
01:45:42:00	01:45:43:00	TRUSTING THAT THE PERSON WHO'S
01:45:43:00	01:45:44:00	GOING TO SHOW UP IT'S SOMEBODY
01:45:44:00	01:45:45:00	THAT THEY KNOW IS GOING TO MAKE
01:45:45:00	01:45:46:00	THINGS BETTER, NOT WORSE.
01:45:46:00	01:45:48:00	AND AT THE SAME TIME I THINK
01:45:48:00	01:45:50:00	THAT DATA IS REALLY CLEAR THAT
01:45:50:00	01:45:51:00	PREVENTION AND DIVERSION REALLY
01:45:51:00	01:45:54:00	WORKS AND WE KNOW THAT THIS
01:45:54:00	01:45:55:00	WORKS.
01:45:55:00	01:45:56:00	WE KNOW THAT THIS IS WHAT
01:45:56:00	01:45:56:00	COMMUNITY MEMBERS NEED OR ARE
01:45:56:00	01:45:57:00	ASKING FOR.
01:45:57:00	01:45:58:00	AND RIGHT NOW CBH SERVICES ARE
01:45:58:00	01:45:59:00	ONLY AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE UNDER
01:45:59:00	01:46:01:00	AGE TWENTY ONE.
01:46:01:00	01:46:02:00	SO WE'RE ASKING THE CITY
01:46:02:00	01:46:03:00	OF BOSTON TO INVEST IN A
01:46:03:00	01:46:05:00	COMMUNITY LED MENTAL HEALTH
01:46:05:00	01:46:06:00	CRISIS RESPONSE MODEL SO THAT
01:46:06:00	01:46:09:00	ALL BOSTON RESIDENTS CAN ACCESS

01:46:17:00	01:46:18:00	DIAGNOSIS OR ABILITY TO PAY.
01:46:18:00	01:46:19:00	AND BOSTON NEEDS AND DESERVES A
01:46:19:00	01:46:21:00	FULLY FUNDED COMMUNITY LED

01:47:28:00	01:47:30:00	KNOW HOW DEAL WITH THE
01:47:30:00	01:47:34:00	SITUATION?
01:47:34:00	01:47:35:00	THE POLICE ARE NOT RELIABLE
01:47:35:00	01:47:36:00	WHEN A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS IS

01:47:43:00	01:47:44:00	OF POLICE OFFICERS OF COLOR WHO

01:48:17:00	01:48:18:00	IT?
01:48:18:00	01:48:20:00	IS A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T

01:48:48:00	01:48:50:00	ADDRESSED WITHOUT A DIAGNOSIS.
01:48:50:00	01:48:51:00	ONE OF THE DANGERS OF ALWAYS

01:54:39:00	01:54:40:00	PILOT I WANT TO SHARE BUT FROM
01:54:40:00	01:54:42:00	MY PERSPECTIVE AS A LICENSED
01:54:42:00	01:54:43:00	CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER WHO'S
01:54:43:00	01:54:44:00	WORKED IN THE FIELD FOR TEN
01:54:44:00	01:54:47:00	PLUS YEARS NOW, THE MAJORITY
01:54:47:00	01:54:47:00	OF WHICH HAVE BEEN DOING
01:54:47:00	01:54:48:00	COMMUNITY BASED AND IN-HOME
01:54:48:00	01:54:50:00	WORK, I'VE WORKED WITH MANY
01:54:50:00	01:54:50:00	FOLKS NAVIGATING MENTAL HEALTH
01:54:50:00	01:54:53:00	CRISES AND I BOTH WITNESSED AND
01:54:53:00	01:54:54:00	HEARD COUNTLESS TIMES ABOUT THE
01:54:54:00	01:54:57:00	HARMS OF OUR CURRENT RESPONSE
01:54:57:00	01:54:58:00	SYSTEMS AND INCLUDING BOTH THE
01:54:58:00	01:54:59:00	POLICE AND THE BEST TEAM
01:54:59:00	01:55:02:00	RESPONDING WITH GUNS AND BADGES
01:55:02:00	01:55:02:00	ONLY EXPLOSIVE CRISIS AND FOR
01:55:02:00	01:55:05:00	THE TRAUMATIZED OF SOMEONE THE
01:55:05:00	01:55:06:00	BEST TEAM FREQUENTLY CALLS THE
01:55:06:00	01:55:06:00	POLICE.
01:55:06:00	01:55:08:00	SO THE CITY'S PROPOSAL TO
01:55:08:00	01:55:09:00	INCREASE COORDINATION BETWEEN
01:55:09:00	01:55:10:00	EMS AND THE BEST TEAM AS A
01:55:10:00	01:55:13:00	QUOTE ALTERNATIVE MODEL IS NOT
01:55:13:00	01:55:13:00	ACTUALLY ANYTHING DIFFERENT
01:55:13:00	01:55:17:00	THAN THE RESPONSES ALREADY HAVE
01:55:17:00	01:55:18:00	COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO ARE MOST
01:55:18:00	01:55:20:00	AT RISK OF THE HARMS AND
01:55:20:00	01:55:21:00	VIOLENCE OF THE POLICE RESPONSE
01:55:21:00	01:55:22:00	WOULD STILL BE AT RISK EVEN
01:55:22:00	01:55:25:00	WHEN THE BEST TEAM DOES NOT
01:55:25:00	01:55:25:00	INVOLVE THE POLICE, THEY STILL
01:55:25:00	01:55:26:00	OFTEN ENGAGE IN NONCONSENSUAL
01:55:26:00	01:55:28:00	PRACTICES INCLUDING FORCED
01:55:28:00	01:55:28:00	HOSPITALIZATION.
01:55:28:00	01:55:31:00	THIS PRACTICE IS TRAUMATIZING
01:55:31:00	01:55:32:00	AKIN TO IMPRISONMENT AND
01:55:32:00	01:55:33:00	RESEARCH DEMONSTRATES THAT
01:55:33:00	01:55:35:00	FORCED HOSPITALIZATION
01:55:35:00	01:55:36:00	INCREASES NOT DECREASES
01:55:36:00	01:55:39:00	SUICIDAL IDEATION AND ATTEMPTS
01:55:39:00	01:55:40:00	.
01:55:40:00	01:55:41:00	THE COMMUNITY BASED MODEL WOULD
01:55:41:00	01:55:41:00	NOT INVOLVE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
01:55:41:00	01:55:44:00	WAS DESIGNED BY AND PRIORITIZES
01:55:44:00	01:55:44:00	COMMUNITY COMMUNITIES WHO ARE
01:55:44:00	01:55:47:00	MOST IMPACTED BY THE CURRENT
01:55:47:00	01:55:48:00	POLICE RESPONSE MODEL.
01:55:48:00	01:55:49:00	A CORE VALUE ENTERING THE MODEL
01:55:49:00	01:55:51:00	IS THAT IT IS CONSENT BASED AND
01:55:51:00	01:55:52:00	COMMUNITY MEMBERS RESPONDING TO
01:55:52:00	01:55:53:00	OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN
01:55:53:00	01:55:55:00	CRISIS WOULD FOCUS ON PROVIDING
01:55:55:00	01:55:56:00	THE CARE THAT SOMEONE NEEDS AND
01:55:56:00	01:55:58:00	CONSENTS TO IN A MOMENT
01:55:58:00	01:55:59:00	OF CRISIS AS OPPOSED TO
01:55:59:00	01:56:00:00	PRIORITIZING LIABILITY CONCERNS
01:56:00:00	01:56:03:00	AS MANY BEST TEAM MEMBERS DO,
01:56:03:00	01:56:04:00	WE ARE ASKING FOR A FRACTION

01:57:12:00	01:57:15:00	OF WHAT PUBLIC SAFETY LOOKS
01:57:15:00	01:57:16:00	LIKE AND COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
01:57:16:00	01:57:16:00	FORCED TO BELIEVE SAFETY COMES
01:57:16:00	01:57:19:00	FROM THE EXACT SYSTEM THAT WAS
01:57:19:00	01:57:20:00	BUILT TO CONTROL, OPPRESS AND
01:57:20:00	01:57:22:00	CAUSE FURTHER HARM.
01:57:22:00	01:57:23:00	NOW IS THE TIME WE LISTEN TO
01:57:23:00	01:57:24:00	WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.

01:57:38:00	01:57:41:00	COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT
01:57:41:00	01:57:41:00	REPRESENT WHAT THE COMMUNITY
01:57:41:00	01:57:41:00	LOOKS LIKE.
01:57:41:00	01:57:44:00	ORGANIZED ORGANIZATIONS HAVE
01:57:44:00	01:57:45:00	COME TOGETHER WITH A VISION
01:57:45:00	01:57:46:00	OF WHAT DIFFERENT LOOKS LIKE A

01:57:52:00	01:57:53:00	CONTROL POLICE DEPLOYMENT
01:57:53:00	01:57:56:00	BECAUSE AS A ROXBURY COMMUNITY
01:57:56:00	01:57:57:00	MEMBER REPRESENTING THIS
01:57:57:00	01:57:59:00	SEGMENT I AM TIRED OF THE
01:57:59:00	01:58:00:00	POLICE SHOWING UP TO MY HOUSE
01:58:00:00	01:58:01:00	BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER IS HAVING
01:58:01:00	01:58:03:00	AN ASTHMA ATTACK.
01:58:03:00	01:58:04:00	SUPPORTING A COMMUNITY BASED
01:58:04:00	01:58:05:00	MENTAL HEALTH RESPONSE MODEL
01:58:05:00	01:58:08:00	ALSO GIVES JOBS TRAINING AND
01:58:08:00	01:58:08:00	OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE A

01:58:16:00	01:58:17:00	PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE US.
01:58:17:00	01:58:19:00	I BELIEVE THAT THE DEMAND FOR
01:58:19:00	01:58:20:00	TWO POINT SIX DOLLARS MILLION

01:58:24:00	01:58:24:00	COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
01:58:24:00	01:58:27:00	CREATING THESE MODELS.
01:58:27:00	01:58:28:00	HOWEVER, I UNDERSTAND THIS
01:58:28:00	01:58:29:00	PILOT MODEL AS A START WHICH IS
01:58:29:00	01:58:31:00	GROUNDBREAKING AND CLOSING.

02:00:04:00	02:00:07:00	SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED IN BOSTON
02:00:07:00	02:00:07:00	BECAUSE I'VE WITNESSED
02:00:07:00	02:00:08:00	SCENARIOS WHERE THE POLICE HAVE
02:00:08:00	02:00:11:00	ESCALATED SITUATIONS THAT DON'T
02:00:11:00	02:00:12:00	NEED TO BE ESCALATED.
02:00:12:00	02:00:13:00	POLICE HAVEN'T PUT ANY MORE
02:00:13:00	02:00:15:00	HARM IN OUR COMMUNITY THAN

02:00:15:00	02:00:16:00	POLICE HARM IS NOT OK AND I

02:12:53:00	02:12:54:00	DRIVING MOTOR VEHICLE.
02:12:54:00	02:12:57:00	MANY GROUPS INCLUDING CITIZENS
02:12:57:00	02:12:58:00	FOR JUVENILE JUSTICE HAVE
02:12:58:00	02:12:58:00	BROKEN DOWN HOW WE COULD
02:12:58:00	02:12:59:00	RESPOND TO MANY INCIDENTS
02:12:59:00	02:13:01:00	WITHOUT POLICE.
02:13:01:00	02:13:02:00	THEY RESPOND TO SITUATIONS SUCH
02:13:02:00	02:13:05:00	AS SICK, INJURED MEDICAL OR
02:13:05:00	02:13:05:00	VERBAL DISPUTE.
02:13:05:00	02:13:06:00	WE DON'T NEED POLICE IN THESE
02:13:06:00	02:13:09:00	SITUATIONS OR IN MENTAL HEALTH
02:13:09:00	02:13:09:00	CRISES.
02:13:09:00	02:13:10:00	WE NEED CARING COMMUNITY
02:13:10:00	02:13:13:00	RESPONDERS LIKE MANY PEOPLE
02:13:13:00	02:13:14:00	I'VE STRUGGLED WITH, I'VE
02:13:14:00	02:13:14:00	ENCOUNTERED A SITUATION WHEN
02:13:14:00	02:13:15:00	SOMEONE NEEDED HELP BUT THERE
02:13:15:00	02:13:17:00	WASN'T A CLEAR PLACE TO CALL.
02:13:17:00	02:13:18:00	FOR EXAMPLE, I'VE SEEN POLICE
02:13:18:00	02:13:19:00	TRY TO KICK PEOPLE OFF THE
02:13:19:00	02:13:21:00	TRAIN WHEN THEY WERE
02:13:21:00	02:13:22:00	INTOXICATED AND SO I SAID I
02:13:22:00	02:13:23:00	WOULD RIDE WITH THEM TO WHERE
02:13:23:00	02:13:25:00	THEY NEEDED TO GO ANOTHER TIME
02:13:25:00	02:13:26:00	WHEN SOMEONE SAID THEY NEEDED A
02:13:26:00	02:13:28:00	RIDE TO THEIR REHAB PROGRAM I
02:13:28:00	02:13:29:00	WALKING WITH THEM TO THE
02:13:29:00	02:13:29:00	PROGRAM SINCE CALLING THE
02:13:29:00	02:13:32:00	POLICE WOULDN'T HAVE HELPED
02:13:32:00	02:13:33:00	INSTEAD OF HELPING WITH MENTAL
02:13:33:00	02:13:34:00	HEALTH, THE POLICE AND PRISONS
02:13:34:00	02:13:34:00	BREAKS PEOPLE DOWN.
02:13:34:00	02:13:37:00	I REMEMBER A YOUNG PERSON WHO
02:13:37:00	02:13:38:00	GOT OUT OF THIS AND WAS
02:13:38:00	02:13:38:00	TRAUMATIZED AT HIS TIME LOCKED
02:13:38:00	02:13:41:00	UP THEIR AND HIS FRIEND WHO
02:13:41:00	02:13:41:00	DIDN'T HAVE HOUSING BUT REFUSED
02:13:41:00	02:13:42:00	TO GO TO SHELTERS BECAUSE
02:13:42:00	02:13:44:00	OF HOW IT TRIGGERED THE
02:13:44:00	02:13:45:00	EXPERIENCES OF BEING LOCKED UP
02:13:45:00	02:13:45:00	AT SOUTH BAY.
02:13:45:00	02:13:48:00	ONE OF THE MORE SITUATIONS I'VE
02:13:48:00	02:13:49:00	BEEN PART OF WAS WHEN THE
02:13:49:00	02:13:50:00	POLICE HARASSED YOUNG PEOPLE IN
02:13:50:00	02:13:51:00	BOTH IN GENEVA IN 2010 AFTER
02:13:51:00	02:13:52:00	THEIR FRIEND WAS KILLED, YOUNG
02:13:52:00	02:13:53:00	PEOPLE AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS
02:13:53:00	02:13:56:00	GATHERED GATHERED AT THE STREET
02:13:56:00	02:13:56:00	MEMORIAL AND MANY CLEARLY
02:13:56:00	02:13:57:00	NEEDED HELP.
02:13:57:00	02:14:00:00	MANY YOUTH WORKERS DO OUTREACH
02:14:00:00	02:14:00:00	AT PEOPLE'S HOMES IN
02:14:00:00	02:14:01:00	NEIGHBORHOODS INCLUDING AT
02:14:01:00	02:14:03:00	STREET MEMORIALS TO SEE WHAT
02:14:03:00	02:14:04:00	PEOPLE ACTUALLY NEED HELPING

02:14:07:00	02:14:08:00	HELPING BRING FOOD AND WATER
02:14:08:00	02:14:09:00	AND HOLDING MEMORIAL EVENTS.
02:14:09:00	02:14:12:00	WHAT POLICE DO INSTEAD IS
02:14:12:00	02:14:12:00	CRIMINALIZE PEOPLE IN 2010
02:14:12:00	02:14:16:00	POLICE TARGETING A TARGETED ONE
02:14:16:00	02:14:16:00	OF THE PEOPLE THEY ARE
02:14:16:00	02:14:17:00	STRUGGLING WITH HIS FRIEND'S
02:14:17:00	02:14:19:00	DEATH AND IT ESCALATED AND
02:14:19:00	02:14:20:00	INSTEAD OF THAT POLICE PERSON
02:14:20:00	02:14:21:00	GETTING THE HELP HE NEEDED, HE
02:14:21:00	02:14:23:00	ENDED UP SHOOTING HIMSELF
02:14:23:00	02:14:24:00	DURING A CONFRONTATION WITH THE
02:14:24:00	02:14:24:00	POLICE.
02:14:24:00	02:14:27:00	HOW MANY PEOPLE DO ANY OF US
02:14:27:00	02:14:28:00	KNOW WHO GOT SUPPORT WITH THEIR
02:14:28:00	02:14:29:00	MENTAL HEALTH BECAUSE
02:14:29:00	02:14:31:00	OF CALLING POLICE VERSUS HAVING
02:14:31:00	02:14:32:00	CARING PEOPLE WHO COULD RESPOND
02:14:32:00	02:14:33:00	NOT JUST IN THE MOMENT BUT ON
02:14:33:00	02:14:35:00	AN ONGOING BASIS?
02:14:35:00	02:14:36:00	TWO POINT SIX MILLION DOLLARS
02:14:36:00	02:14:37:00	FOR A PILOT WOULD DO MORE FOR
02:14:37:00	02:14:39:00	THE COMMUNITY THAN ALL THREE TO
02:14:39:00	02:14:40:00	NINETY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
02:14:40:00	02:14:44:00	COMBINED OF THE POLICE BUDGET

02:14:49:00	02:14:50:00	THE COMMUNITY DEMANDS THE
02:14:50:00	02:14:53:00	OPPORTUNITY TO START A CRISIS
02:14:53:00	02:14:54:00	RESPONSE MODEL THAT HAS ZERO
02:14:54:00	02:14:54:00	POLICE INVOLVEMENT AND THEN
02:14:54:00	02:14:57:00	GROW IT OVER THEIR NEXT THREE
02:14:57:00	02:14:57:00	YEARS REALLY THE POLICE IN

02:14:58:00	02:15:00:00	YEARS OF PILOT THEIR MODEL AND
02:15:00:00	02:15:04:00	IT HAS FAILED TO DO ANY GOOD.
02:15:04:00	02:15:05:00	IT HAS ONLY HELPED TO DESTROY
02:15:05:00	02:15:07:00	PEOPLE'S LIVES AND COMMUNITIES
02:15:07:00	02:15:08:00	.
02:15:08:00	02:15:09:00	WHY CONTINUE TO THROW HUNDREDS

02:24:51:00	02:24:54:00	WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A
02:24:54:00	02:24:55:00	FALSEHOOD THAT IS THAT THERE
02:24:55:00	02:24:58:00	ISN'T ENOUGH FUNDING AVAILABLE
02:24:58:00	02:24:59:00	FOR THE COMMUNITY BASED MENTAL

02:25:39:00	02:25:40:00	I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS
02:25:40:00	02:25:42:00	THAT'S REALLY POWERFUL ABOUT
02:25:42:00	02:25:43:00	BEING THIS ROOM THAT I JUST
02:25:43:00	02:25:44:00	WANT TO MAKE SURE TO
02:25:44:00	02:25:46:00	COMMUNICATE IS THE CLEAR
02:25:46:00	02:25:47:00	DEDICATION AND DETERMINATION
02:25:47:00	02:25:50:00	OF FOLKS TO INSIST AND BE
02:25:50:00	02:25:51:00	REALLY CLEAR THAT WE NEED THIS
02:25:51:00	02:25:54:00	MODEL.
02:25:54:00	02:25:55:00	I THINK THAT'S INCREDIBLY CLEAR
02:25:55:00	02:25:56:00	AT THIS POINT.
02:25:56:00	02:25:57:00	SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T COME TO

02:26:06:00	02:26:07:00	WORKER AT THE CITY SCHOOL AND A
02:26:07:00	02:26:09:00	CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER.
02:26:09:00	02:26:10:00	I'M ALSO A MEMBER OF THE
02:26:10:00	02:26:13:00	STEERING COMMITTEE THAT HELPS
02:26:13:00	02:26:14:00	TO DEVELOP AND OVER 60 PAGE
02:26:14:00	02:26:18:00	DETAILED REPORT FOR THE CITY
02:26:18:00	02:26:18:00	OF BOSTON AROUND WHAT A
02:26:18:00	02:26:21:00	COMMUNITY BASED MENTAL HEALTH
02:26:21:00	02:26:22:00	CRISIS RESPONSE COULD LOOK LIKE
02:26:22:00	02:26:25:00	FOR OUR CITY RIGHT NOW OUR CITY
02:26:25:00	02:26:26:00	IS FACING A HEARTBREAKING AND
02:26:26:00	02:26:29:00	STAGGERING MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS
02:26:29:00	02:26:30:00	AND YES, WHILE EXACERBATED BY
02:26:30:00	02:26:34:00	THE PANDEMIC, WE HAVE TO BE
02:26:34:00	02:26:34:00	EXTREMELY CLEAR THAT MENTAL
02:26:34:00	02:26:36:00	HEALTH CRISES ARE ALSO
02:26:36:00	02:26:37:00	CREATED BY RACISM, ANTI BLACK
02:26:37:00	02:26:41:00	RACISM AND POLICE VIOLENCE BOTH
02:26:41:00	02:26:42:00	AS A THERAPIST AND A YOUTH
02:26:42:00	02:26:45:00	WORKER I TALK WITH YOUNG ADULTS
02:26:45:00	02:26:45:00	AND YOUNG PEOPLE EVERY DAY WHO
02:26:45:00	02:26:46:00	DESCRIBE THEIR INCREASED
02:26:46:00	02:26:49:00	ANXIETY, DEPRESSION,
02:26:49:00	02:26:49:00	POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
02:26:49:00	02:26:52:00	AND MAJOR MENTAL ILLNESS
02:26:52:00	02:26:53:00	PRECISELY BECAUSE OF RACIAL
02:26:53:00	02:26:56:00	VIOLENCE.
02:26:56:00	02:26:58:00	SO IT'S NOT THAT THE POLICE ARE
02:26:58:00	02:27:00:00	NOT THE RIGHT FORCE TO RESPOND
02:27:00:00	02:27:01:00	TO MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.
02:27:01:00	02:27:02:00	IT'S THAT THE POLICE REPRESENT
02:27:02:00	02:27:05:00	THE EXACT PROBLEMS THAT ARE
02:27:05:00	02:27:07:00	LEADING TO MENTAL HEALTH WHILE
02:27:07:00	02:27:11:00	POLICE ARE CALLED IN CRISIS.
02:27:11:00	02:27:12:00	POLICE ARE ACTUALLY NOT THE
02:27:12:00	02:27:13:00	ONES RESPONDING TO MENTAL
02:27:13:00	02:27:15:00	HEALTH CRISIS RIGHT?
02:27:15:00	02:27:16:00	COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE THE ONES
02:27:16:00	02:27:16:00	RESPONDING.
02:27:16:00	02:27:20:00	THE FOLKS IN THIS ROOM ARE THE
02:27:20:00	02:27:20:00	ONES RESPONDING WITHOUT
02:27:20:00	02:27:23:00	RESOURCES BUT RESPONDING ALL
02:27:23:00	02:27:24:00	THE TIME DOING THE EXACT THINGS
02:27:24:00	02:27:27:00	THAT WE TALK ABOUT IN DETAIL IN
02:27:27:00	02:27:28:00	THIS MODEL THERE ARE FRIENDS
02:27:28:00	02:27:29:00	WHO ARE AVAILABLE FOR EACH

02:27:32:00	02:27:35:00	THERE ARE FAMILY MEMBERS
02:27:35:00	02:27:35:00	GETTING FAMILY MEMBERS SAFE,
02:27:35:00	02:27:39:00	NON PERSONAL TRANSPORT TO THE
02:27:39:00	02:27:39:00	HOSPITAL UNDER THE CONDITIONS
02:27:39:00	02:27:42:00	OF MAJOR MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS.
02:27:42:00	02:27:43:00	THERE ARE YOUTH WORKERS
02:27:43:00	02:27:44:00	DEESCALATING CONFLICT WITH
02:27:44:00	02:27:45:00	YOUNG PEOPLE THEY KNOW AND
02:27:45:00	02:27:47:00	DON'T AND THEIR COMMUNITY
02:27:47:00	02:27:48:00	BOARDS PROVIDING SPACES FOR
02:27:48:00	02:27:50:00	SAFE SYRINGES.
02:27:50:00	02:27:51:00	THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT ARE
02:27:51:00	02:27:53:00	HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN THIS
02:27:53:00	02:27:54:00	CITY.
02:27:54:00	02:27:55:00	BUT WE NEED MORE WE NEED A

02:27:57:00	02:27:58:00	EVERYONE IN THE CITY CAN ACCESS
02:27:58:00	02:28:02:00	AT ALL TIMES SO WE HAVE AN
02:28:02:00	02:28:03:00	INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY IN
02:28:03:00	02:28:03:00	BOSTON RIGHT NOW FOR A SOLUTION
02:28:03:00	02:28:06:00	THAT IS BOTH VERY ROUNDED AND
02:28:06:00	02:28:06:00	VERY GROUNDBREAKING.
02:28:06:00	02:28:09:00	IT'S GROUNDED BECAUSE COMMUNITY
02:28:09:00	02:28:10:00	MENTAL HEALTH RESPONSES ARE
02:28:10:00	02:28:11:00	WORKING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
02:28:11:00	02:28:14:00	FROM DENVER, COLORADO TO
02:28:14:00	02:28:15:00	OAKLAND WHERE A FEW OF US HAD
02:28:15:00	02:28:15:00	THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN IN

02:35:19:00	02:35:21:00	I WENT TO CAMBRIDGE A LITTLE
02:35:21:00	02:35:22:00	WHILE AGO AND I SAW A VERY SAD
02:35:22:00	02:35:23:00	SIGHT.
02:35:23:00	02:35:24:00	IT WAS A SEA OF PEOPLE IN
02:35:24:00	02:35:26:00	MOURNING ANGRY THAT THEY LOST
02:35:26:00	02:35:26:00	SOMEONE VERY IMPORTANT TO THEIR
02:35:26:00	02:35:29:00	COMMUNITY, TO THE POLICE.
02:35:29:00	02:35:30:00	THE CRIME THEY HAD COMMITTED
02:35:30:00	02:35:30:00	WAS NEEDING HELP DURING A
02:35:30:00	02:35:33:00	MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS INSTEAD

02:35:34:00	02:35:37:00	WHAT HE RECEIVED WAS BULLETS.
02:35:37:00	02:35:38:00	THAT SIDE IS ONE I NEVER WANT
02:35:38:00	02:35:40:00	TO SEE AGAIN.
02:35:40:00	02:35:41:00	POLICE SHOW UP IN OUR
02:35:41:00	02:35:42:00	NEIGHBORHOODS NOT OFFERING HELP

02:35:45:00	02:35:49:00	IS BECAME KNOWN TO THE
02:35:49:00	02:35:49:00	COMMUNITY.
02:35:49:00	02:35:52:00	THIS IS WHY I THINK WE NEED TO

02:36:21:00	02:36:22:00	HI MY NAME IS GARY BUTTON.
02:36:22:00	02:36:25:00	I'M TRYING TO MAKE A IN BOSTON,
02:36:25:00	02:36:28:00	MASSACHUSETTS AND I ALSO
02:36:28:00	02:36:29:00	SORRY TO TELL WHEN I WAS A
02:36:29:00	02:36:33:00	TEENAGER I HAD A MENTAL HEALTH
02:36:33:00	02:36:36:00	CRISIS AND MY MOM NEEDED TO
02:36:36:00	02:36:37:00	HELP ME AND SHE HAD CALLED THE
02:36:37:00	02:36:40:00	COPS AND WAS SHE DIAL 911 AND
02:36:40:00	02:36:43:00	THE POLICE CAME AND I REMEMBER
02:36:43:00	02:36:44:00	FEELING FEAR IN MY HEART
02:36:44:00	02:36:47:00	BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT INSYNC
02:36:47:00	02:36:48:00	POLICE IN THE MEDIA I THOUGHT
02:36:48:00	02:36:49:00	THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING WOULD
02:36:49:00	02:36:51:00	HAPPEN TO HER BECAUSE THEY
02:36:51:00	02:36:52:00	THOUGHT THAT SHE WOULD BE THE
02:36:52:00	02:36:53:00	AGGRESSOR.
02:36:53:00	02:36:54:00	SO I THOUGHT THAT SHE WOULD BE
02:36:54:00	02:36:56:00	TAKEN AWAY EITHER IN HANDCUFFS
02:36:56:00	02:36:57:00	OR IN LIFE AND I THOUGHT I
02:36:57:00	02:36:58:00	WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE HER
02:36:58:00	02:36:59:00	AGAIN.
02:36:59:00	02:37:00:00	BUT THANKFULLY WE BOTH WENT
02:37:00:00	02:37:03:00	HOME THAT NIGHT AND WE WERE

02:37:23:00	02:37:29:00	OF HIS AUTISTIC PATIENT AND IT
